Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4120812, member: 5798"] A tale of two halves. It was noted that UConn turned the ball over several times back to back to back in the 3rd quarter in which they outscored UConn by 6. You can't turn the ball over against elite teams. They will make you pay and convert those turn overs (extra possessions) into points. Aliyah Boston got a lot of cheap/easy baskets in the paint. If you're going to beat SC, YOU MUST neutralize her. She had 22 points and 15 rebounds (7 offensive). When she puts up those kinds of numbers, they win. Again, she MUST be neutralized. You can't let her run roughshod over your team and do or get whatever she wants to. She'll kill you every time. UConn didn't do that. UConn also could not match her production in the paint. I asked a question in another thread, I'll ask it again. SC didn't stop playing in the 2nd half, why did we? We played them well enough to lead by 3 at the half, why didn't we play with the same intensity and urgency in the 2nd half? They certainly weren't afraid or intimidated by us. Were we by them? What happened? [/QUOTE]
