Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 4457304, member: 10363"] Sometimes I really wonder! Westbeld went 3-5 from 3 because Fudd got hurt? There is no question Miles had a great 1st qtr and got ND off to a great start but ND was up 5 at the end of the qtr and Miles scored 8 points in the last 3, 4 of them in the 4th basically after the outcome was decided so the premise that she was allowed to take the ball uncontested is just not factual. She had a great qtr, was pretty much shut down from there and then other players took up the slack. Other teams have good players too and it so happened they all shot well on the same day, it happens. And ND daring Griffin to shoot and playing 5 on 4 started from the beginning of the game, that also had NOTHING to do with Fudd getting hurt. Fudd getting hurt certainly hampered Uconn on offense big time but the idea that other Uconn players were demoralized by her injury just does not hold water; how did they come back from 17 at the half to 5 with the ball in 6 1/2 minutes in the 3rd? Now they couldn’t sustain that and not having Fudd CERTAINLY had a huge bearing on that but I don’t believe for a second her injury had the effect you surmise. The fought and played hard after Fudd got hurt, winning the 2nd half, just too little, too late. [/QUOTE]
