Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 3847122, member: 175"] it’s actually a nicer cherry the more you analyze it! Most of those nine buckets were with UConn trailing when they really needed points - only the Tenn dagger up 2 and the SC dagger up 1 were with UConn ahead ... and those were big shots. ”Single digits last five minutes” could mean you hit a 3 up by eight with a minute to go where it isn’t that big a shot (or down eight in a futile comeback effort). Or you scored with 4 minutes left in a game you ended up winning by 15. All of Paige’s points were pressure points. But a small sample size, of course. There’s no guarantee that the next close game won‘t see her miss a few, or see her guarded a little better. If theres a flaw in her offensive game it’s that she isn’t crafty about getting to the line, and doesn’t get to the rim on her own all that much (mostly gets layups on back cuts, with the occasional drive) for easy points, so if her jumper is off, she could have another 3-14 night at a bad time. I actually thought Dawn made a bit of a mistake not using Henderson on her more. She’s small so Paige could shoot over her if she got to her spots, but Henderson could stay right with her off the ball and crowd her space. The turnover when Muhl tried to throw to Westbrook with the game tied was after Henderson wouldn’t let Bueckers get the ball on the opposite wing. I kind of think if this team played 2016 UConn, MoJeff would give her a lot of problems. [/QUOTE]
