How does UConn beat Creighton Tenn and SC

[sharris25]

I believe the fatigue Dawn was speaking of was more mental. Remember South Carolina just finished playing 5 top 20 teams of which two were top 5 in a span of two and a half weeks. All of which they won by double digits except the last game. Theoretically in an NCAA tournament, they would never play such a a stretch of games consecutively in an NCAA tournament run to a championship. McDaniel is working her way back from a concussion and is definitely a part of the 10 person rotation,with spot minutes for Dauda, Tac or Walker depending on the effectiveness of play. I think South Carolina's depth will still be a problem for any team giving normal circumstances

This is not a thread about UConn, not South Carolina

My fellow Gamecocks. When we are being heavily discussed on this board, we are NOT free to join the discussions. ON THIS UCONN SPECIFIC BOARD. Go to our thread on the General Board or open a new special thread on the General .

unfortunately not true (UConn shooters hitting a high percentage)

UConn is first in the nation in field-goal percentage and 11th in 3-point. Strong is 21st, Bueckers is 38th (fourth among guards)

Bueckers: 0.546/0.426
Strong: 0.580/0.370
Fudd: 0.470/0.408

I assume those are the shooters TonyC was talking about. Those are high percentages in my book. Collectively they shoot 0.543/0.400. If that's not a high percentage, what constitutes a high percentage in your opinion? Can you find a team whose three top scorers are shooting better?

The second tier is pretty darn good too:

Shade: 0.470/0.430
Chen: 0.513/0.326
Arnold: 0.490/0.208
El Alfy: 0.535

So Chen's 3-point percentage not great and Arnold's is poor, but that's 70 out of the 500+ three-pointers UConn has taken.

As I’ve posted elsewhere, the team’s 3 pt percentage against its 5 best opponents is really not good.

ok, nice stats ... the thing that irks me is that uconn is excellent at holding out for the best shots available -- often wide open -- then doesn't sink them as often as their talents promise. they should have even better results re: stats. especially in big games, as vowelguy points out.
