Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 5067989, member: 3535"] We could see near anything. I'd lean toward we won't see it much if at all. First off, UCONN prefers to run. The big lineup won't get up the floor very well. It's built for halfcourt. Second, it also won't provide much ball pressure on Defense. therefore opposing team has opportunity to keep tempo closer at their pace. Third, in addition to speed, this team using the 3 Bigs at once lacks quickness meaning teams that have 3 very good outside shooters will have possibility of getting open perimeter shots every time down the floor, Fourth, UCONN already has many extremely tough matchups for opposing teams to have to defend and can probably do the above three better which I believe is the preference. I think for this Big 3 to happen and play at once other that either experimentation or a rare game, Jana, Sarah, and Ice would have to show they are much better than anyone of the many other guards and small forwards. Running the basketball is most important. Giving Paige and Azzi an open floor with the threat of another lethal guard/forward is more optimal imo because that style allows for more shots at the basket. The team that has more talent overall you'd like to see them take as many shots as they can unless their inside is where their talent is an extreme advantage. The extreme advantage though is with Paige/Azzi getting them out on the open floor making as many shots and creating as many aggressive efficient passes as possible. Factoring in experience as well, I think other Guards/Wings for this particular team allows them to get out more in the open floor which imo is more preferable. [/QUOTE]
