Message: [QUOTE="Rowdy831, post: 4924759, member: 12516"] UConn early on was putting Nika on fast small guards and that is an assignment that KK must take over if they are going to beat those teams. What beats UConn as far as height goes is the offense sends their post to the top of the circle and AE follows her. Then the guard comes off the pick and beats the defense to the bucket where UConn has zero size to slide over and make a stop. Size matters in a couple areas all the time but scoring isn't one of them. To me the challenge for UConn will be keeping bigger teams off the offensive boards and defending the high pick by their post. If they control one of those they have a good chance to win. Box and 1 against a couple teams really stops the penetration layups. [/QUOTE]
