Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4209813, member: 10435"] I thought there was some very unselfish play today and I also thought there were times where shots were forced and the extra pass was not made. The latter can be a problem at the Elite 8 and FF level. I also thought there was much more sloppiness today with the ball than against Xavier. I still don't like the bigs handling the ball and making guard decisions with the ball from the high post. It causes turnovers and impedes the movement of the offense. Liv and Dorka are better than AE at it. She holds the ball too long at times and frequently misses an open cutter. We are not a great half court set offensive team so transition is very important. I think the ball has to go to CD and Azzi more in transition or at the early stages of the half court offense such as on their cuts or for pull ups. They are our best shooters from outside but also have textbook jumpers and strong drive moves with both hands. Small ball was so effective today not just because of the trapping defense and the steals but also because everyone has guard skills at passing. That one fast break from Dorka rebounding and passing to Evina and then diagonally to Nika and then diagonally with a partial no look to AE for the score was vintage UCONN. [/QUOTE]
