Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 2431155, member: 5089"] Also from that piece: [I]Auriemma is pushing Walker to do more than just hit open jumpers. He would have liked more than one defensive rebound from her in 25 minutes against UCLA, and defensively, when Walker came into the game Auriemma switched to a zone because he doesn’t have a ton of confidence in the one-on-one defensive abilities of either Walker or Stevens. “Without Gabby in the game in the first half, that was tough because now we have Z (Stevens) and Megan and they are — to say the least — defensively challenged,” Auriemma said. “We were trying to figure out what was the easiest thing we could do. We tried to keep it very simple. I could tell we had them thinking a little bit because they slowed down and weren’t in any kind of flow. You could see that they were struggling to find where their offense was going to come from. I thought our guys were great defensively, they were just great.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
