Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2259625, member: 6118"] There may be one other view of that match up--everything we know about Azura is her Duke style game--I tend to try to avoid dogmatic statements so I hedge my bets with [B]Maybe [/B]Aja has an advantage over Z --in mobility or strength. Wilson is not without flaws--I doubt Geno is wasting Azura's time just concentrating on how to beat Wilson--but I feel on safe ground believing Geno has worked with and is working with Z to defend big, strong, mobile centers (including Wilson)--Z has what--2 inches or more on Aja? Sounds like a tiny amount---but often all you need is a tiny bit of something the other player lacks. The certainty of your comment is Geno will offer, if needed, defensive help to Z against any post. I need to see Azura jump against some bigs --again--in the one view I have of her jumping and making a jumper --her release is over 10 ft high--that is pretty difficult to defend. Your point, lightly stated, is well taken---many think Z's rebounding ability will save the day--if what \you say with Aja is correct--Uconn goes back to the 2 smaller rebounders against Aja caliber players and USC has defenders of that size . Chess game coming.??? ?? [/QUOTE]
