Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2067439, member: 6819"] As for those faults you saw, 1) UConn's short(er) bench really hurts them. Kia, a junior, is their best M2M defender, an excellent 3pt shooter, and the second fastest on the team. They really missed her leak outs on offense for fast breaks and the defensive switches were really hurt by her absence. If you noted the game thread most of us were surprised and disappointed in our M2M defense tonight. 2) See #1. It's not common for UConn to get beat down court for any reason at any time. It doesn't happen often. You don't have such good defensive numbers by getting out hustled on defense. All of these "potentials" are rectifiable come time for the Dallas Dance. 3) We know about foul trouble. It was far worse at the beginning of the season. These players have learned and still are learning how to play larger or quicker opponents without fouling. I warned you that Pheesa is athletic, balletic, and proficient in the paint and on the block. It looks like she has every shot available in the basketball repertoire. Everything she does is extremely graceful She knows her spots on the floor and the most efficient way to get there. She reads the ball off the rim better than anyone on the team. Her offensive rim awareness is the best on the team. When she hits that outside shot there's no real offensive solution for her. Lou had a bad shooting game and a poor defensive game and she had a problem keeping her opponent in front of her. Again, they're only sophomores, and Crystal, the freshman, is just starting to really run the offense. [/QUOTE]
