Message: [QUOTE="Zinethar, post: 2667444, member: 8436"] My personal observations: UConn is the best TEAM in women's basketball. They have 2 weaknesses that are obvious but not sure how to solve. First they rarely play a close game until the final 4 so they have very little experience in winning close or overtime games. Last night they did a fantastic job pulling out a lost game twice before for the second time in 2 years someone got free for a winning buzzer beater. The problem goes to the second weakness which is they have no current player that can take over a game and win it by themselves if necessary. Either because that has been trained out of them or because those are not the type players recruited. They are often not team players. Stewie, Maya, Diana were that type. Kia and Gabby are great defensive players but not the give me the ball and I'll win it types. KLS great shooter but not the driver needed to collect fouls at the end yet. Others Z maybe at some point, Walker same as she is more of a hit the boards drive type, rest not. Hopefully incoming freshmen will develop into that role. If not, or until the philosophy changes, great seasons will often end this way. Not actually a bad thing except for those of us on this board. Great year, great team, fun to watch. Not sure I want a me type team just to get #12. [/QUOTE]
