Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4082397, member: 5823"] Appreciate the enthusiasm as always [USER=73]@Tonyc[/USER]. Just a couple challenges to a few of your numbers and thoughts. UCONN is not going to average anywhere close to 100 PPG. UCONN averaged 81.9 PPG last year and that was good enough for 6th in the nation. Scoring is not an issue for UCONN, scoring balance is. [USER=10266]@BostonBay[/USER] was the first to pose this theory and I happen to agree. We need additional scoring from the bigs especially in close game because without it the defense is going to be stacked toward our perimeter players who might be vulnerable to an off shooting night. Part of that balance theory also works out from math/numbers stand point. Aaliyah Edwards was the most accurate shooter in college Basketball last year yet you will not see Aaliyah's name among the NCAA FG % leaders. Why? Because she did not get enough shots to qualify for the NCAA leadership. Shame on us! I'm not in favor of giving our perimeter players or guards (not named Paige or Azzi) more shots while Aaliyah is starving for shots. [/QUOTE]
