The idea is to score more points than your opponent, how doesn’t matter. And with all due respect, for someone who has lived the game for almost 6 decades, I always wonder how people know what is or “isn’t going to be enough“ before the games are even played. Uconn plays great defense and has multiple offensive weapons, frankly, virtually all of them inconsistent to some degree but IMO, the whole on offense is greater than the sum of the parts. I will also make a point about Fudd that impressed the heck out of me; when Marquette made their little run to start the 2nd half and Uconn was on its heels a bit, she hunted GOOD shots about 3 or 4 possessions in a row. She didn’t shy away because she wasn’t shooting well and didn’t gun any shot, but took it upon herself to get quality looks. I think she missed two, made one and got fouled on another but that attitude in a shooter can give a team the same intangible jump on offense Muhl gives on defense. No fear, no hesitation, within the flow, but just “give me the ball we need a good shot“ offense; you don’t want that one on one as a steady diet but there are times in a game it is irreplaceable. I thought that was one of them. [/QUOTE]
