Message: [QUOTE="wbball novice, post: 3774469, member: 8663"] Nice to see some improvement in key players. First half was a little like watching an SEC game when Westbrook was at Tenn. Haven't been watching the SEC channel recently, but in those days: tenacious defense, anemic offense. ONO. Great to see her making FTs since I imagine she's going to get fouled a lot. In her previous games she was 50% at best. She can score away from the basket, if, to paraphrase Geno, she can get to her calm place. Might be more difficult with taller, more aggressive players defending, so not sure it's a shot she can rely on. Had a really good night close to the basket. CW also greatly improved on FTs, again significant since she attacks the basket a lot & she hasn't always been succeeding as often with her amazing finishes as last year, & its an opportunity to salvage some scoring. I think she has improved incrementally in each of her 3 games. Defense has improved I'd say. EW is another player improving in every game. Nice to see her scoring some. With Anna, EW, Beuckers, UConn passing game is impressive. From what I remember when EW was at Tenn, she scored a lot because no one else on Warlock's team could find the basket; with other UConn members having better offensive skills, she doesn't need to score as much & maybe she won't. Keeping my fingers crossed she doesn't get injured again. Aubrey Griffin was a better sub than previously. Just so nice to have a deeper bench, especially with Nika injured. Beuckers & Edwards not as good as in the 1st 2 games. Not sure why Edwards should be a lock for starter at this point. Still great to have her off the bench. Beuckers touch on floaters was off, & she missed her only FT. For both freshman, hopefully offense will in the long run be more consistent than turnovers & penalties. Paige's penalties probably due to playing more defense than she's used to, but traditionally Huskies took pride in keeping the penalties low. For both Edwards & Beuckers, still pretty good even if Creighton was an off game in comparison to earlier opponents. The 3 pt efficiency isn't what it was; hard to match the KLS/Dangerfield production. If Anna can get in rhythm & PB has it in her... [/QUOTE]
