Defending DePaul newest challenge for UConn’s Azurá Stevens
“Some post players can shoot 3s so I think it will be a different look, but we want to use our length to make sure we contest their shots,” Stevens said.
Auriemma said neither Stevens nor freshman Megan Walker are what he would consider to be defensive dynamos. Normally when the two of them are on the court together, Auriemma has chosen to play zone. That could be a risky strategy against a team so reliant on making jump shots from the perimeter.
“A team that has that many shooters, a zone would be challenging to play so it is a decision that Coach (Auriemma) is going to have to try to figure out,” UConn senior guard Kia Nurse said."
