Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3040446, member: 5798"] Thanks BobbyJ, excellent observations. Especially the lack of size to play against in HS. She’ll get use to playing against players her height or taller. That’s not an adjustment that happens overnight. She must abandon the “fly swatting “ technique to minimize her fouls, thus extending her minutes of availability during a game. If she’s going to promote to starter next year, she’s got to stay on the floor. She can’t help the team from the bench with foul trouble. You also cannot be aggressive on defense if you’re in foul trouble. That’s how/why ND was able to defeat them in the FF last year. Several starters had 4 fouls late in the game. ND knew that and began driving the lane and attacking the basket. UConn could not aggressively challenge those drives for fear of a starter fouling out. Several other factors played a role in that defeat including a weak bench, and the amount of time Azure Stevens spent on it in the second half. [/QUOTE]
