Message: [QUOTE="Lorcan, post: 3537353, member: 8861"] I find it interesting that you're referencing a game from 11 years ago in 2009, when UConn had 3 future WNBA All-Stars on their roster in Hayes, Charles, and Maya while Arizona State had only had one player that I recall being of note in Briann January as a part of your argument. UConn has never won a game in Tempe, Arizona against Charli Turner-Thorne as the Sun Devils surprised then #8 UConn in the forgettable 2004 campaign. There's really not enough data to reflect the effectiveness of ASU's style of play against a team like UConn, but I imagine that if you gave Charli enough chances against Geno, she'd find a way to snatch a few games here and there given how her team has managed to do against Stanford, Oregon, and even giving Baylor a fit just a season ago. I'd agree with some of the others that there are plenty more good defensive teams in the Pac-12 than just Arizona State and Stanford, especially if Massey is anything to go by. [/QUOTE]
