Kentucky's Post Players

Regarding post play, who replaces Stallworth or Walker if they get in foul trouble?

UConn: Dolson, Stewart, Tuck, Stokes, Buck.

Is that Tuck?

Gotta be......

2 bucks LOL

Of course, as you noticed, the names were ordered in "per-minutes played". Do not ask me for statistics though , go to the mathematicians for the numbers and percentages; mine was just a casual fan's observation.

I'm not sure how many times Walker or Stallworth have fouled out this year. Neither averages more than 3 fouls per game.

They have a player named Bishop and another one named Sidney who back up Stallworth and Walker. From my observation on Saturday, the four of them are largely interchangeable -- none is a major star. If healthy, I think UConn would dominate in the post based on talent as well as size, with Kiah and possibly Morgan having equivalent speed. I think Kelly and KML could deal with any of them on the boards, but Kelly will probably be on the perimeter defending Adia Mathies. As I recall, she (Mathies) was unproductive in last year's game, and although I don't recall who guarded her, that may have been the reason.

As I said in another post, "on paper" UConn should win rather easily. The only loss scenario that is at all likely is a loss of composure by UConn's ballhandlers against Kentucky's ball pressure. I have to think that the experience acquired against Notre Dame and Georgetown should inoculate UConn's guards against that, although it is true that Moriah didn't play much against ND and may not have benefitted from that as much as would be desirable.

Remember how turnover-prone they were before the tournament. Was it a loss of composure or a failing in how they played? Can Kentucky pressure them into being afraid of getting the turnover bug again?

We have been taking very good care of the ball in the tournament.

What have Doty and Hartley shown that would make you think that any experience gained to date would "inoculate" them from turnovers? They can't dribble, Doty turns down offensive opportunites, Hartley dribbles into defenders and falls down (in addition to her 2 walks per game). Both pick up their dribble 35 feet from the basket, Hartley is not strong enough to make a two handed overhead pass. They are terrible ball handlers.
Dolson is not strong with the ball and after 5 minutes of play can hardly stand up, she is not a good press breaking big.
MJ needs to play starter minutes and Faris needs to have her hands on the ball. If good passing breaks the pressure Uconn will cruise, if they need to dribble out of pressure there will be a lot of turnovers.

Well, at least you didn't only pick on Hartley, like you usually do.

I don't have the energy to argue. Enjoy the game.

Put simply because your observations are simply inaccurate and wrong. Beyond that there is really nothing that need be said.
