Message: [QUOTE="iri10, post: 3375386, member: 1781"] Well, this game sort of went differently from most, in that UConn kept building steam after a relatively slow start. 1Q wasn't pretty, but they got better and better until they were almost freight train like by the end of the 4Q. LOL, CD wasn't even able to slow them down which they normally would have done by the last few minutes. Megan Walker had her usual highly productive game, and this wasn't even the best of her today. ONO's output speaks for itself. Teams without a lot of interior size are going to have big trouble with her. I've been trying to characterize what Griffin seems to be at this point - she does some things impressively enough to make my eyeball twitch. What I've settled on for the moment is this: she's like (collegiate) Diamond DeShields with a different mindset. She's basically Diamond's height, length, and athleticism, but instead of having Diamond's particular set of strengths and weaknesses on court, Aubrey seems to be most comfortable in a more utilitarian role. Tenacious on-ball defense and pass disruption, a strong instinct and desire to rebound, etc. Not really a defensive or offensive scheme player yet, but someone who can sweep over the other team like a natural disaster in the right situations. Pat Summitt (may she RIP) would have drooled over the possibility of having even the current version of her. But that's just an early-freshman assessment. I expect the variety of her offense in particular to change as the years go on, so who knows what she'll look like as an upperclassman. [/QUOTE]
