Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 3830298, member: 656"] So what was the actual difference between the last two games? OK, Arkansas is a little better...but vaguely similar in approach... Both games started similarly with UConn playing like they were falling into the similar rut especially with Mamma E missing. But in the 2nd quarter, Paige hit a bunch, some easy points were realized in transition the result of solid D...D'Oh? We're actually supposed to guard our man (Woman)...to a goodly extent highlighted, in (initiated) by Nika's efforts. Then there was rebounding...(We're supposed to do that too?) much better eh? Put it together and whatta you got? A much better result. Better D, better rebounding, slightly better...but not significantly different shooting percentage. And we were able to carve their heart out so that the 4th quarter was garbage time. And Christyn played harder and attacked the rim to good effect And the bigs had only 5 fouls between them and were far more aggressive and aware. More the way its supposed to be... The question is...Is the combination of intelligent aggression and reasonable fundamentals a consistent feature of Uconn's game going forward or will we relapse. Stay tuned [/QUOTE]
