Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3343369, member: 7093"] Yesterday was a ragged game against OSU. Ania was not playing as well as we have seen her play, and had some troubling turnovers. UCONN shooting ran and cold, and numerous lay-ups were missed. Fouls began to build up late against Olivia. Aubrey did some nice things, but also failed to finish on a couple of occasions. Crystal was over-worked and got banged around, but she hung in as the team leader. Megan was off and on and Williams the same. Kyla worked hard and hit another three! OSU sent waves of players onto the court. Many of whom were wide bodies. They have 7 freshmen, 10 upperclassmen and one transfer. A well of 18 players from which to draw, and the OSU coach was determined to give each some court time. By way of contrast, we have 9 players. One of whom ( from Murray State ) remains an unknown ( But not likely an All American in waiting). So we play 8, two of whom are freshmen. One of whom we had to pluck from Poland, because UCONN had a difficult recruiting year. As a whole, this was a stressful game, in which UCONN made an uncommon number of giveaways and turnovers. The offense never looked smooth. For a while, the defense didn't either. But, as the game wore on, OSU stopped making shots. Lost in all of this muck is the fact that UCONN still came out the winner. They found a way. It is fun to watch, even if our finger nails are bitten a bit down. OSU is much improved, but not likely the equal of Maryland in the big 10 conference. And not on the level of South Carolina ( best recruiting class in country ), Baylor, Louisville, Oregon and ND. The real tests still loom. [/QUOTE]
