Message: [QUOTE="SimpleDawg, post: 2966548, member: 9267"] Which is why it's advantageous to have two really good Bigs. Not sure we could've beaten Washington that year had we only one of Okorie and McCowan, and that meant no beating UConn either. Will be interesting to see if Carter can be good enough to play a good chunk of minutes in the tournament this year. With her, McCowan is only playing 25.7 minutes per game. Every UConn starter plays 30 per game, Asia Durr plays 30.7 min per game, Ionescu plays 34.4 mpg, Ogunbowale and Jackie Young plays 32 mpg. McCowan is the only POY candidate with so few minutes. I think J. Carter has soft hands and sometimes just doesn't catch the ball. I think it has to do with awareness than anything, but she can certainly be reliable on weak side boards and putbacks and she's one of the top shot blockers in the SEC. If she can keep McCowan fresh enough in the tournament, that could be really useful. ... [/QUOTE]
