Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5185770, member: 12088"] This is what I think too. As [USER=6986]@HopJim[/USER] observed above, they do run high screens and resemble Geno's offense a little. The thing is, in the games I've seen, they don't typically run it very well. This may be from lack of patience and (as you say) because they think they can just get the O-board to clean it up. My guess is they'll get O-boards against UConn. The question is whether they'll convert enough of them. They haven't managed it against tougher opponents. Against Texas, they shot pretty well but were heavily out rebounded. Same against Vandy. Against SC, they led in O-boards, but hardly converted any of them. Similar story against Mizzou. In her postgame interview, Caldwell said something revealing, that unless they get defensive stops, they can't really get into their offense. In effect, she's saying they don't think in terms of relying on a half court offense and aren't comfortable having to do so. [/QUOTE]
