Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 3096184, member: 961"] Man, I sure hope you're right. But I really worry about this team's ability to play wonderfully for a while (the first quarter was amazing) and then to disappear as the game wears on. This goes way beyond not having a killer instinct. This goes to totally losing focus, not being able to shoot, missing layups,passes to no one, defensive lapses (and not just by ONO). Buffalo is a good but not great team and was playing on adrenaline for a while. But UConn should have been able to handle this team. And while I'm thinking about it..... Remember how we used to be able to almost count on a late second quarter/early third quarter run that absolutely crushed the opposition?This is probably painfully obvious to the many of you who know the sport better than I, but this is not a team that, IMHO, can do that, and it really hurts them. It also is a team that, for all the good players who we love, is not very complex. I don't generally see the "Look for the extra pass" play all that much. It is much more of a three-point-shot or in to Napheesa kind of team. Once in a while Crystal shows off an amazing pass, but they just aren't able to do the stuff earlier teams coulddo. [/QUOTE]
