Message: [QUOTE="PhillyCoach, post: 2127352, member: 6136"] First, congrats to Miss St. They played with great effort, defense, and were very hungry. Baylor had some friction on the sidelines and Wallace had a poor outing. Anyway, Miss St did it (William scored 41) and they are the next opponent for UConn. I believe in the eye test and statistics give us strong indications of performance. Here are some numbers to crunch: MS only has two scorers in double figures--Vivians at 16 and Wm at 11. The next three scorers are at 9,8,&7. UConn scores 20, 20, 14, 13 and Chong at 8. Assists - MS only has one player over 100 assists (Wm) and Vivians has only 57 assists with 62 TURNOVERS--- MS has a 1.1 assists to turnover ration. -UConn has 5 players over 100 assists and a 2.0 assist to TO ratio. Rebounds - MS two big girls have a 7 and 5 rebound average. They are the top rebounders. UConn's top two are at 9 and 8 rebound average. MS has 312 steals ----- UConn has 366. MS has 147 blocks ---UConn has 178. MS scores 77 a game UConn 87 a game. MS gives up 57 a game and UConn gives up 53 a game. MS shoots 45% FG, 35% 3pt-----UConn shoots 53% FG and 40% 3pt. I think the numbers give solace to some. They tell a good story. Also, MS will be in their first FF so they will be experiencing some new emotions. This info might help with your score prediction---or not! Personally, I was surprised at some of MS stats. They were not as good as I expected for a #2 seed with a very good record. IMHO - UConn shuts down William and Vivians and UConn wins going away. However, let's play the game and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
