Message: [QUOTE="TheObvious, post: 4167813, member: 11722"] Backdrop: Like the men, women's bb is trending toward offense. It's not unusual to see 80, 90 and even 100 pts scored.That doesn't diminish the importance of defense holding a team in there when they're missing or until they light up the scoreboard. Uconn has been without 30 pts from Paige and Azzi. There may not be a bench in Am that can make up those pts every game. And Monday it was worse, losing CW's additional 15. Gino has said we should be scoring 75 per game. If you add CW's average scoring to the final 72-59, Uconn would have had 74! Further, I want to add that Uconn hasn't lost to an "unranked" team. GA Tech was under the radar until they beat Uconn. A solid team unnoticed who is now #18. Unranked OR was without their 2 best scorers. They returned last week and beat 2 top-10 teams, and I predict they'll highjump right into the middle of rankings on Monday. Come end of February may we do the same. I think our existing crew, if they can cut turnovers in half, will look more like a Uconn team. [/QUOTE]
