Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3394921, member: 730"] It was clear in the Baylor game that business as usual isn't enough. Irwin, Makurat, ONO and Griffin have to produce for UConn to get to the FF. They all have spent the season deferring to Dangerfield, Walker and Williams and it's apparent in the way they hesitate when given open shot opportunities. I hope Geno uses these AAC games to take Williams and Walker out of games for 4 minutes so there is no one to defer to. Irwin and Makurat are both excellent 3 point shooters with enough height to shoot over players. There was a play today when someone drove and drew help, freeing Makurat in the corner. She nailed a three. Later Griffin was given the same opportunity but hesitated and then tried to drive. She needs to realize that her team needs her to take (and make) that shot to force opponents to guard her. There are times when degerring to an open team mate is the right thing but when you are the only one open for a shot you need to see the situation and be ready to shoot it before you even get the ball.
