To me, the low point of last season. We all felt it and then we all went for a fun ride to the Championship Game.
We have to be able to score and we have to have the inside presence against big teams.
Geno got out-coached today, which is rare. They came out throwing haymakers, including face-guarding Azzi. He knows opposing coaches are going to do whatever it takes to slow down Azzi.
How do you beat overplay?- screeners show to the ball and back door cuts, and penetration. We did none of those. And one of our wing players didn't bother showing up and another wing player went 1 for 12. Bad ingredients. With only one outside threat, you gotta run something else.
Where were the hedges on the screens out top? We are great at hedging, particularly AE. Nika played Miles tough, but she needs help on the screens.
We lose this game with or without Azzi. Bad performance. This is UConn- everybody shows up every night. Hey Geno, my idol, you can't run that passing game with one outside scorer and one competent post. Do the math. If Azzi's out, you gotta draw up something else. Not time for aesthetics, uglify your O with some spreading of the floor and slashing to the hole. It's below your mastery of the game, but UConn's gotta be able to score the ball.
