I predict there will be no 3rd guard in big games other than the combo of Lou and Walker and Gabby. UCONN doesn't "need" Coombs or AEH or Molly. This is Geno being Geno. He's a coach. He's played predominantly 6 players before. UCONN will blow out a lot of teams. He doesn't need it. He'd like it but that's a big difference.

On your thread of Rushmore -- this is one of things Lou can do. She can be a 2guard. And do it well. Part of the problem is that Pheesa and AZ are shooting miserably from 3. Thus when you don't have the 2 guards in and Lou - it's easier to clog the post. It's not that UCONN needs a guard as much as they need one of AZ or Pheesa to start knocking down some 3 pt shots. The beauty of Pheesa and AZ is that they can shoot well from 3.  Lou and Gaby are great passers. If they are able to hit open AZ and Pheesa and if both can shoot like they are capable, then you also have a great defense rather than rely on an inconsistent frosh such as Coombs or AEH or soph Molly and then hold your breath in a big spot.
