Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 2582792, member: 4"] [LIST] [*]Stanford played 5 players 6-2 or taller, 4 players were 6-3 or taller. They lost by 25. [*]Cal played 5 players 6-2 or taller, 4 players were 6-3 or taller, including Wooden Award finalist ([URL='http://www.woodenaward.com/john_r_wooden_award_presented_by_wendy_s_announces_2017_18_women_s_late_season_top_20']late season list[/URL]) Kristine Anigwe. They lost by 35. [*]ND's Jessica Shepard scored 10 points on 5-13 shooting in 36 minutes. But those fabulous guards kept ND in it to keep the margin of loss 9. [*]Texas's vaunted scary frontline four scored 28 points among them and shot 12-26 and one person, Jatarie White, had 18 of those points, the other, um, not so much. Texas's guards had 43 points in the 4 point loss in Texas. [*]South Carolina's All American A'ja Wilson shot 4-18 to score 14 points in a 25 point loss in South Carolina. [/LIST] For all the stressing over opponents' heights, the huge teams haven't had a lot of success against UConn. Well, neither has anyone else but you get my drift. If a team relies on its bigs to lead them to victory, they could be out of luck unless they have fabulous guards that can challenge the Huskies (see ND and Texas). And it took them superwomen-type efforts to keep the loss under 10. Sure, UConn could lose but height isn't going to be the determining factor. [/QUOTE]
