Very dangerous  to base player evaluation on a single game or a couple of games.   LLS will be playing for UCONN soon enough and there are enough other indications that she will do very well in the UCONN offense.  For starters  she  moves well without the ball and she shoots the ball well from deep.   The fact that she starred in MAC is not irrelevant compared to two games against Texas and Indiana because you could just  as easily have based the evaluation on her two games against Rutgers and  FGCU where  her  performance was not as good playing against  lesser teams.

A recent UCONN transfer,  also from Europe, also dominated her conference and was not able to make an impact upon her arrival at UCONN.  Interestingly  enough if you look at that player's UCONN  biography you will find this item " [I]Made career-high 28 points at Tennessee (12/28) ... grabbed career-high 20 rebounds vs. Eastern Illinois (2/7)  [/I]" .

The leap from playing at Fairfield to playing at UCONN is a significant leap and we are all hoping that LLS is able to make the leap successfully.   Using your Senior Bowl analogy, this leap is the equivalent  of going from  dominating your conference to playing in a senior bowl every practice, every game,  every day.    I'm not saying LLS is not going to be successful-I think she will be.   What I'm saying is you should probably treat  her  performance against  IU  and TX the same way we should have treated 28 Points against TN a few years back-it was a good performance [B]on that  team[/B].
