Message: [QUOTE="LwrcasefaN, post: 4276868, member: 11185"] Skill wise I think UCONN is off balance. And by that I mean...their most plentiful skill is guard play. Lots of different combinations. Last night...you had Evina playing the 4. That's unfair to Evina and a misuse of her skillset and energy. Asking a 2 guard to play some point guard or wing...is a reasonable ask. When you ask guards to play in the paint and lead you in rebounds ...that is not sustainable. Nika was the top rebounder the game before last...and last night...it was Paige and Evina. That works with a less physical team, but not an athletic team on a mission to eat your lunch. I'll say this again...asking LIV to play against 5s for 4 years was a waste of her talent. And AE, started slow, but for all the physicality in this tournament she more than held her own. If you can't play inside out or draw defenders...don't expect your shooters to get a lot of clean looks or have to use a lot of energy to get open. Good news. It's not the hardest fix. And..the solution may already be on the roster in Amari and/or Piath. I don't know because...you really can't tell where a player is....until they play regularly other than the last 3 minutes of a game. I had no idea Kiah Stokes was so good until she was on her way out the door. This coaching staff knows what they need to do. [/QUOTE]
