Do we need OFFENSE from the post to win it all?

I’m often confused by your posts, though it’s probably my fault. It seems like you shift the topic in midstream, or maybe I just can’t keep up.

As for this remark, I’m particularly puzzled. In head to head competition, Paige alone has been the equal of Caitlin, splitting the series, and Azzi by herself proved that she’s at least Caitlin’s equal in their only game together. I’d express a caveat with regard to the last final four game, in which Caitlin, surrounded by a veteran squad put up better numbers.

The notion that a lineup with both Paige and Azzi would merely equal Caitlin seems odd to me.

I was being kind.
Anyhow, my posts have been saying UCONN is fine with just 3 players. And I use Iowa as a case in point. That's the context of my posts. What's confusingto me is why you brought up Wornack and Martin as if they were significant difference makers in 2022-2023 offensively while I was disagreeing wiht anyone that suggested UCONN needs more than 3 scorers vs a team like SOCar.

In the game against us on the OOC in 22-23, Martin shot the lights out from 3. Warnock also played really well. But that was only in the context of misreading your kindness. Interestingly, we had 4 or even 5 serious scorers that season with Azzi Caroline Lou and Aaliyah//Dorka. Of course, it all went to heck with injuries before January. This is also where we are this season with 4 or 5 scorers in Paige Sarah Azzi Ash and Aubrey, if only the injury gods will allow it.

And by “serious scorer” I mean someone who will average 8-10+ points all season but can bust out for 20+ points when needed.
