Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 2530112, member: 2527"] Enjoyed the game, even in a losing effort. UConn just does more of the little things better than any team in women's basketball. One thing UConn doesn't get enough credit for is their defense. I haven't looked at all the stats, but I don't think UConn allowed Texas any fastbreak points. Texas is great in transition, and it's a huge part of our offense. Perhaps UConn sacrificed sending more players to crash the boards (and content to lose the rebounding battle) because the strategy was to get back on defense quickly and prevent any fastbreak baskets. For Texas, it was great that we were very good offensively despite not scoring much (if any) in transition. Typically, we struggle in a half-court offense, and rely on easy fastbreak points every game. [/QUOTE]
