Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2431606, member: 6927"] I don't understand the compulsion to take a five-on-five *team* game and turn it into some kind of one-on-one grudge match. UConn's entire *team* defensive strategy was designed around stopping Canada, and, save for the first five and last five minutes of the game, this *team* strategy was almost perfectly executed, by all five UConn players on the floor. One of the results of this excellent execution was Canada's low shooting percentage. Needless to say, UCLA's entire team defensive strategy was not designed around Dangerfield, and UConn is not as reliant on any single player as UCLA is on Canada. To insist on "scoring" two individual players as one would score a boxing fight is to (a) fail to give credit to the outstanding team effort that went into stopping Canada, and (b) insist on an apples-to-oranges comparison.
