The prescription is well and good, but in order for it to work, you need the right essentials. No matter how much people wish they play inside, neither Dorka or Liv are comfortable down low, nor do they thrive there. At this point, you can add Edwards into the mix, given her consistent struggles underneath to create a shot.
Without Paige and Azzi, the team has no dependable, consistent outside shooting, Caroline notwithstanding.

In UConn’s championship years, there was always a reliable scorer in the paint. Think Morgan Tuck, Napheesa Colllier and of course, Swin Cash, Tina Charles. The current team is not constructed as such.

Another missing component is easy buckets from back door cuts. For the most part, without Paige, the transition game is almost nonexistent. This team, unlike so many of the past, has to fight hard for every basket. They have to grind it out. What is or should be apparent is that Paige camouflaged a lot of these problems last season. Hence Geno’ insistence on having Paige on the court at all times.
