Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 3047274, member: 6488"] For those who wonder why Lou's shots have gone walk-about in recent days, consider this whole "toughness" business. KLS has been regularly assaulted by almost every team UConn plays. She is slapped, elbowed, tripped, bumped and generally mistreated. Her susceptibility comes from her decision to take her game inside this season in order to help shore up a weak rebounding Husky squad. The fact that she can lift her arms to shoot at all is near miraculous; her body must be a study in bruises, cuts, and strains. Let's face it, Lou is a greyhound not a mastiff. She just isn't built for the kind of abuse she's enduring. UCF isn't "tough," they're just desperate. Sorry to say some of the better teams also harbor cheap-shot characters. Have the officials "let the players play" too much? Maybe. But it's much safer outside the arc. Lou's choice to go inside, to do what her team needs instead of what's best for her, that's the real toughness. [/QUOTE]
