Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2121856, member: 3535"] I don't agree. A fear for this team is foul trouble. The foul trouble fear is due to size. I don't see UCONN starting the game putting Gabby or Napheesa in as much risk. I can't see his risking foul trouble - though he has a bench- but it's not fair for example for Collier to guard big centers. And some sometimes say "we can mix-and match." That's a myth. UCONN forces teams to mix-and-match to them when they can. I know they have the bench- btu Collier and Gabby aren't centers. I can't see putting them in the same situation to start the game, and now that UCONN can be more aggressive defensively (Geno has said they have been forced a bit to let teams score), I don't think it would be fair to put Collier or Gabby in that position when you don't have to. I think that supersedes ball-handling. UCONN has 5 good ball-handlers with AZ starting. [/QUOTE]
