Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4110799, member: 1131"] This response is to you and to AgStatesman and others who basically wrote the same thing. Let's go to today's box score: For South Carolina: Boston 22 points, 15 rebounds in 34 minutes Saxton 2 points, 3 rebounds in 22 minutes Cardoso 4 points, 6 rebounds in 12 minutes Amihere 1 point, 2 rebounds in 17 minutes For UConn: Liv 6 points, 5 rebounds in 34 minutes Aaliyah 6 points, 3 rebounds in 22 minutes Dorka 2 points, 3 rebounds (all offensive!) in 19 minutes I think the only conclusion that you can draw from these stats is that Aliyah Boston was a dominant player today. She was in Stewie mode. The other six post players on both teams who are listed above were all average by comparison, and were not particularly distinguishable from one another in productivity. So, yes, the Gamecocks by virtue of Boston dominated the front court today, but it was her individually who did that. You can say that Cardoso was fairly productive in VERY limited minutes (why were her minutes so limited -- is it a conditioning thing?), but still her bottom-line performance was not especially impressive. Also, the above statistics suggest (and my eyeballs would agree) that AE outplayed her Canadian teammate Amihere in this game, despite playing behind her on the Olympic team. [/QUOTE]
