Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2971567, member: 6118"] Uconn is a great 3 defending team! Period. Howsomeever, Geno (I believe) has told the troops: run a tough zone, don't wander far out, get the rebounds, don't foul on the perimeter. Fouling is a slow poison. With almost a nonexistent bench--somethings Uconn normally are great at has to slip because 5 kids can't be expected to run, run, run, day in day out without relief. Tired legs mean missed shots and grabbing rather than moving on defense--the social ills associated with no bench is sickening, with no fix in sight. If Irwin or Olivia can give 5 minutes of relief in every game without the score regressing or the fouls increasing-- If Molly or Coombs can shoot accurately and enough to be a threat and defend (neither is terrible at defense) I'd be in pig heaven... Hot Dang, after 2 or 3 years at Uconn 3 of them should have picked up enough to help. [/QUOTE]
