Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4769327, member: 3535"] Yes it will come down to matchups. So why assume UCONN needs to matchup to the other team rather than they match up to UCONN? IS it because you have a lack of respect for 3 point shooting? SO what makes you think the big teams can defend on the perimeter within UCONN's motion offense when they move and set pick-after-pick.? The opposing bigs will be out on an Island tryoing to defend players like Paige and Azzi And a rim protector, why is that more important vs playing solid fundamental defense? Adn what good is the shot blocker if she is finesse but can't rebound well? She puts every player around her in greater risk of foul trouble. Her minutes can also change the complexion for a tight game because of her poor play. the games two years ago NC State used more of the bench as did Stanford - in some cases it hurt them. And how championships work and final fours work it's superstars that get them there. I believe a certain HOF coach has shown you this over-and-over how success works, correct? Yet you just want to manufacture something new based on nothing more than "hope?" Looking back at UCONN history their 11 titles – they have had all-time great’s help lead them in every one of them. Regardless of bench it has been about the superstar. This can’t be ignored and to be replaced by nothing more than “hope.” [/QUOTE]
