Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3429862, member: 10435"] I just finished watching the replay. I loved that play you referred to with Meg and CD which Meg Culmo called a "slip screen". There was another time later in the game where Meg ran an old fashioned "give and go" with ONO and got fouled on a lay up attempt. I did notice one thing though and it was that the overwhelming majority of the time when Meg sets a screen at the top of the key, the foul line or the foul line extended, she does not "roll" to the basket but rather waits for the "pick and pop". I wonder if that is by design so as not to clog the lane or Meg's choice. Geno yelled at her for not rolling on that one play with Anna where she was at the foul line and just stayed there and Anna's pass just went over her head. I hope she goes to the basket more after she screens from here on in. She is a strong finisher and can also shoot an 8 foot pull up. Favorite play by Megs was the crash offensive board and put back. Favorite pass by Anna, and there were several great ones, was the dish in the air to ONO on the fast break. They just became a lot of fun to watch again. If this is the new team identity we were waiting for, it was well worth the frustration and anxiety. This style of play brings them back into the conversation as a NC contender. [/QUOTE]
