Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4143144, member: 1131"] A few quick observations from the box score (don't know whether they are mentioned in the postgame thread since I haven't read it yet): [LIST] [*]UConn won points in the paint by 38-12 (!!); [*]UConn won second-chance points by 18-8; [*]Louisville won fast-break points by 21-8, which is surprising to me because I didn't see a lot of fast breaks being successful by either team while watching live action; [*]UConn won the rebounding battle 37-32, and had [B]17 offensive rebounds[/B] to Louisville's 10 (!!); [*]Louisville won bench points by 22-4, consisting largely of Ahlana Smith's 11 points on 3-for-4 3-point shooting; [*]Payton Verhulst played 6 minutes for Louisville and scored 0 points. [/LIST] So today, UConn got its scoring from Caroline Ducharme, Dorka, and Christyn, and got its rebounding from Caroline Ducharme and Dorka (8 each) with some help from Liv and Aaliyah. Evina had a poor statistical game (6 points, 2 assists, 5 turnovers, and 3 rebounds, but Geno had to play her because he had only two true guards available. If either Azzi or Nika could have been available, it would have been a different game, and probably a much better one for Evina with fewer minutes. [/QUOTE]
