Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4379903, member: 5823"] That frustration of the opposition guards and perimeter players does not come about accidentally or by hoping those opposition player have an off day. It is the result of having a player on the roster that is capable of delivering the frustration when most needed in heavy doses if necessary. Most needed may not be in a conference game against a Parker Lane because chances are UCONN is going to win those games by 20 anyway. Most needed in some of the UCONN WBB recent tournament games. (+-) indicates points above or below the players season average. 2013 Skylar Diggins 10 Points [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)][B](-7)[/B] [/COLOR] 2014 Lindsay Allen 3 Points [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)][B](-5)[/B] [/COLOR] 2015 Jewel Loyd 12 Points [COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)][B]( -6.5)[/B] [/COLOR] 2016 Brianna Butler 3 Points [B][COLOR=rgb(226, 80, 65)](-10.2) [/COLOR][/B] 2017 Victoria Vivians 19 Points [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)][B]( +1) [/B][/COLOR] 2018 Jackie Young 32 Points [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]([B] +17)[/B] [/COLOR] 2018 Arike 27 Points [B](+4)[/B] 2019 Arike 23 Points [B](+2)[/B] 2021 Aari McDonald 26 Points [B](+6)[/B] 2022 Destiny Henderson 26 Points [B](+15) [/B] If UCONN had held [B]ANY [/B]player [B](in black) [/B] in just their season averages the outcome might have been different. I'll keep insisting that UCONN needs to recruit better perimeter defenders until proven otherwise. By better defender I mean a defender that is capable of holding the opposition perimeter players at or below their season scoring averages which is not an incredible high standard. [/QUOTE]
