I don't think AE is getting a fair shake with some of these comments. She's getting double and triple teamed on most catches. Where are the cutters? Hedging out to the 3-point line at times to help stop penetration. Rebounding. Almost gets a double double and folks want to focus on 3 turnovers? Maybe you think it's more because she touched the ball last. MAYBE...it wasn't a good pass so the TO went to the passer. Look at when and where she is being given some of these passes. It matters. And the worse the outside shooting becomes, the harder it is on the post players. It's nice having 3 PGS on the floor, but imagine the challenge for AE? Cut her a little slack?
Pressure is a privilege.

She is a senior.

She can't continue to play like that and beat SC, get her name on the wall, and finish with a championship.

Slack doesn't get results.

She had 3 TOs. So did Paige. Having said that...every contribution is not compiled in the stats.

Time to cut Aaliyah some slack. Our perimeter shooting game hasn’t materialized… yet. As a result teams can double and triple team her. Until our perimeter game settles down and starts hitting 3s, it’s unfair to judge Aaliyah harshly.

Also, on D, Geno has her doing high hedges against opposing guards all game long. This cuts into her rebounding. In effect, Geno has her doing what Cotie McMahon did last season in tOSU’s pressure defense.

There was some good play, not much BA play. Kk's three point runner at the end of the 3rd Q was BA so I'll go with her.

Freshmen. Edwards too many turnovers
KK

Also, how many layups did Edwards miss? Actually, a little unfair since others were missing too. Just more annoying when Edwards misses.

Q might have had a shot at the BA if Geno had given her more minutes. What's the story with that?

I will go with the person or persons who say that the freshman were the star players of this game.

Nika’s tough defensive effort on Braun, MN’s top scorer, holding her to 4/21 from the field was a reminder of why she is the reigning CDPOY and deserving of being UConn’s BA for the game.

Oldude, please remind me, what's the CDPOY?

Both! Typically, one leads to the other. When a player feels consistent defensive pressure, they often rush their shot, even when they have time to square up and shoot in rhythm.
