It's just a moment in the middle of a good, very good video on Z, but it so nails her. From Nan's link:
ww.espn.com.au/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/22957655/women-final-four-azura-stevens-continues-spark-uconn-huskies-bench She also underscores the difference between Duke and UConn. "This is the right place for me."

Yeah, it was both funny and cute. Good catch! I put the link in a post above.
 
If Z's three starts to fall, watch out for the new Z !!! UConn does not need Z's 3 but with hers how is anybody going to defend the UConn offense?

A team needs at least TWO legit 3-pt. threats to create havoc on the opponent's defense. Right now UCONN has KLS and Kia (Crystal Dangerfield is inconsistent, Pheesa is at best low threat, and Gabby is no threat at all), but when Kia leaves next season, it would be huge if Z can evolve into a legit threat.
 
It would be really huge if Z made her layups the 1st time she shoots them, that is a good enough breakout for todays game.

Against these FF teams, the misses are effectively turnovers that kick off the offense for ND and the others...

the three point shooting % for UCONN best are KLS 47.2, CD 46.2 and Kia at 44.9....all three are among the best in the nation including CD , who IMO will be a very potent offensive force next year

Not to take anything away from Crystal Dangerfield, her 3-pt. percentage surpassed Kia's only because of the SC game. Without that game, she was at 43.3 and Kia was at 44.4. More importantly, Crystal Dangerfield's 3-pt. shooting tended to come in spurts, rather than in a more even pattern like KLS and Kia.

We get confused sometimes, and you always in the middle of threads. So forgive us, your ubiquitousness! ;)

Given the quality of your posts, I assumed that you had a crack staff working with you. So yeah, they...

CD is like Kia, which is why she is such an excellent point guard. She'll do what's necessary and put team ahead of individual objectives. Her growth this year has been about as great a leap as I have ever seen from a UConn sophomore. She'll MoJeff WCBB for another 2 years.

I'm well aware I've been too active of late. Have located a therapist. Baby steps.

I don't like debating on this board and respect all those who post but take Kia's best game away and compare averages and CD will be better...

I don't like debating on the board with posters because we all have the same goal as fans, however if you want to delete a good CD game then delete a good Kia game and CD will probably have the best %. The nature of three point shooting is that some games are good and others are not as good, hence the average is what we should look at. The point is, that just as Kia has improved her % each season, CD , who is already shooting at a great% for a soph will be an increasingly potent offensive force that will stretch the defense.

The Azura part seems to have been taken out. Bummer.

My first thought, too. Though there is that part where she says "This is the right place for me."

It was the right place for her to reach her goals. Her goal in coming here was to get the best basketball tutelage available on earth so that she could move on to the next level and make money as quickly as possible. She didn't come here to be a Husky for life or any of that other happy horse crap.
