Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3393674, member: 7093"] If we had a top guard ( like Gabby ) playing where Kyla was last night, she would have driven around Cox like she was standing still. And the Baylor defense was spread, with the lane to the hoop wide open. The Baylor defenders cheated away from the paint, because they knew Kyla was not a threat to make moves such as that. Kyla does not have the speed or athleticism...and Baylor knew it. Cox was pretty much immobile and yet we could not take advantage. Baylor was, therefore, able to press our guards deep into three point land, without any regard for what was happening behind them ( nothing ). Even Dangerfield rarely had any space, and she shoots from near mid-court ( kidding of course ). Baylor schemed their defense to our players, and that was smart. And UCONN was again plagued by the lay-ups we fail to convert, the free throws we miss, and the horrid % of success on our threes. I won't even get into poor decision making and unforced errors. This is a dis-jointed, undisciplined team with a fair amount of top talent. But that talent often appears to be " free-lancing," rather than playing to an effective scheme. They are playing like a pick-up game in the school yard. That will only work in most of our AAC games. [/QUOTE]
