Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3399119, member: 1131"] The Memphis game illustrated why Geno is not giving Aubrey more court time (and in a close game such as Memphis cannot afford to do so). Her upper body strength is, if anything, less adequate than Olivia's. She seems to be able to pull down contested rebounds by going up higher than anyone else to get them, but she cannot hold onto them against physically strong opponents. And for some reason that I can't totally figure out, her leaping ability that gets all those rebounds somehow doesn't work to get her putback shot up against the same opponents that she just beat for a rebound. All her putback attempts were getting stuffed, and (at least against Memphis) her drives to the basket were looking good until her layup got blocked. I think Liv's ability to get and hold onto rebounds is actually better than Aubrey's, although Aubrey seems to get to more rebounds than Liv. [/QUOTE]
