Message: [QUOTE="Dokey, post: 3478436, member: 9636"] ...I watched the Oregon loss again. While there is no question that Oregon was the better team that night, I saw some indications that UConn might have fared better in a rematch. First, Crystal was hot and filled with passion but I suspect her missed buckets at the end were partly do to exhaustion. Second, Megan was ice cold with early threes rattling in and out. It wasn’t so much a question of great defense, she just was off. If she hits her normal percentage, things might have been different. But she grabbed significant boards. Christyn showed effects of flu. If she played as she did in last couples of games, it might be a difference maker. Liv was really good at the beginning, then tapered off. She has gotten much better since. She would be a real force in rematch. Anna was our second highest scorer with 13. More importantly, she hit all three of shots: three 3s as expected, a beautiful fade away jumper, and a cutting layup. She also had four assists, no TOs, and played some excellent faceguarding defense without drawing a foul. She also had four boards and showed excellent jumping ability, taking one away from taller Hebard. Anna’s shooting percentage was high, especially if you throw our a last second Hail Mary. Maybe by the rematch, she would have taken more shots. Aubrey played some beautiful defense, less stellar offense, and had three turnovers, but her rebounding was great. She was her usual spark. She has greatly improved since. Would UConn have beaten Oregon in the rematch? Win or lose, this time it would have been a nail biter. Sadly, we will never know. [/QUOTE]
