Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3671123, member: 3535"] [B][U]Well how could have Stewart have defended her the whole game when the score was 98-38? She only played 25 minutes because she was so dominant[/U][/B]. In 25 minutes she had 22 points on 8-10 shooting, 14 rebounds, and 5 blocks. The point is -- during Stewart's 25 minutes- anytime on defense she defended the opposing team's centers or she was in the middle-of the 2-3 zone. She rarely left the paint on defense because she was guarding the centers. [U]So no- Stewart did not guard her one-on-one because Stewart dominated her and the other center so badly[/U]. . But Miss State had 2 centers-- and Stewart either guarded both man-to-man or UCONN played a 2-3 zone in which Stewart as in the middle man-to-man. And after every miss/ turnover on the offensive end, or out of bounds, Stewart would guard McCowan or Okorie man-to-man. And when UCONN went zone, it's Stewart in the middle-of-the-zone. That's typically for centers. So as I've said you can see the game yourself. Go on that site called huskygames.com. Incidentally, McCowan had a pretty good game statistically. She had 10 points shooting 5-6 from the floor. But--- she scored 8 of her points when Stewart was sitting. You know who was the center that was in for UCONN as McCowan scored 8 of her 10 points? It was Nat Butler. The supposed only "true center" on the team. And the 2 points McCowan scored vs Stewart? Was it a power-post move? Nope. Was it an offensive rebound where she just out-muscled Stewart? Nope. It was a player got in the lane through penetration in which Stewart went to block the shot and the penetrator either passed or fumbled the ball that came right to McCowan for a layup. [/QUOTE]
