Message: [QUOTE="TCC Kid, post: 4285399, member: 11583"] One thing is: Boston a good as she is didn't defeat Uconn alone. Dawns has a lot of athletic, scoring, tough on defense, players. As much as Boston owned the boards; Dawns defense stopped Uconn scoring. Your assumptions of Ice and Ayanna seem accurate. Those teams that beat or come close to beating Uconn started with Arizona, last year. Each played almost a helter skelter double and tripled teaming of nearly everyone who had the ball. It worked. The one characteristic of Paige that few seem to speak of, and the one that makes her a winner is: She is tough, mentally and physically. If her younger teammates emulated her toughness this would be a hard team to beat. As great as Paige can be, she needs help scoring to take the pressure defense off of her if only for a few seconds, that's all she needs. Fudd has the most accurate shot I've seen since KML. She needs a quicker release. Caroline is often accurate on the 3, is a slasher to the basket. If I were Geno, I'd build on that in the off season. Dolson, could and did, tough it out under the boards. Yes, she roamed to the key and yes she was accurate from there. She didn't earn her breakfast plunked down on the foul line or top of the key. Steff against mobile big posts of ND, neutralized them with her bulk and mobility, not out on the key. I'd take a Steff, if Geno could find one, or a Stokes, or even a Stewie and put them in any game against the gamecocks with the kids we have, and win. [/QUOTE]
