Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3440998, member: 3535"] Yes defense won today. That's what the good teams can do - they can win differently. How much you want to bet -- just kidding "bet" not meant to to be money or any value just a phrase Im saying-- that this lineup you believe in has even a prayer of happening? ANd I can tell you if you are thinking of "Bill Russell basketball" and trying to apply it to today's game - for the most part the game has passed you by. By a lot. :) Kids want no part of your brand of basketball. Boring basketball in the 50-s low 60's. You own't win long-term. UCONN has a streak of final fours-- because it is part Geno and part talent. Read that "Generation thread" in which the poster cbaarj is saying Taurasi came to UCONN because she thought they played like "Showtime Lakers." Those superstars don't want to play your brand of boring archaic basketball trying to win 55-52. You've got one ball-handler in your lineup. None are proven 3pt shooters. All you are thinking of is defense with no respect to shooting or passing. Remember when you said Liv was a good shooter when I mentioned she can't even hit ft's - she was just hitting 62% at the time. well now it's 53%. I recommend if you have any friends that can reach out to a Div 1 coach and ask them if they think overall a 62% now 53% ft shooter is a good shooter - and they will all say absolutely NOT. None of these players are passers either other than Paige and the team is loaded with 3 frosh and 1 soph and 1 jr. You're enamored with athleticism and assume the athlete can easily shoot and pass. Well I refrain from talking about this further on this thread other than hope one signing we get is Fudd. I love fastbreak basketball and am thankful Geno would never put that lineup you suggest next year. You aren't getting the top recruits with your brand of basketball. And you won't be able to score consistently. [/QUOTE]
