Message: [QUOTE="wbball novice, post: 3412303, member: 8663"] UConn has had difficulty handling low & unranked teams that use chaos & physicality to disrupt their rhythm. The team solved this early on, or maybe it was just shots falling. Hope they've turned a corner. Megan Culmo noted that the pressing teams seem to be trapping the guards at the end lines with some regularity. Not sure if this is caused by bad decision making by the passer or bad positioning by the receiver, but something to work on. Almost like a quarterback trying to solve defensive coverage in pro football. ECU was pretty good at deflecting passes, though -- they have a lot of long arms. Very pleased CW was able to remind folks what a great offensive player she can be. Hope this happens more than once in a blue moon. Still the best finisher I've ever seen wearing a UConn uniform. Not sure why one of the posters said her play was "cringeworthy." Also disagree with whoever it was in Chat who suggested that Anna showed poor sportsmanship by continuing to shoot 3s when ECU was trailing big time. Of course, we don't want to have a brawl with people waving chairs around cuz someone broke the unwritten rules, a la Kansas, even if it makes Sports Center, but remember, she's not American! They probably have different rules in Europe. And that behind the back pass. Stop the showboating! Amazing how CW and Anna Mak made CD & MW seem like supporting players this afternoon. Will the upperclassmen feel disrespected? Will ONO, disgruntled by her bench time in 2 consecutive games, apply for transfer to Notre Dame? Could I get a hot takes podcast on ESPN? Previous game seemed to have charged up Aubrey. Starting to make her mark defensively, but maybe still an offensive liability. Anna might be better as the first off the bench if she can help the team to get a big lead, then bring in AG to defend the counterattack. [/QUOTE]
