Message: [QUOTE="ocoandasoc, post: 3423699, member: 3032"] Get real. If he takes out Griffin, who does he put in? Oregon had five offensive threats and solid defenders out there. UConn could barely match up with three of them. All five of Oregon's starters had double figures. Ionescu had fewer than the other four. They didn't have a bench point or rebound. Ododa got eaten up by Hebard who had three times the points and twice the rebounds. Makurat had 13 points but probably allowed 20 as they'd blow by her and hit a 10-12 footer before Ododa could come out. Graves started milking the clock near the end of the third quarter or the final score might have been worse. Sure, if Williams and Walker make more shots it's a more competitive game. But between now and late March I don't think Ododa and Griffin will improve much, and Makurat and Irwin won't get any faster. Oregon shot pretty close to their average tonight, and their offensive scheme, good passing, and quick-release shooters get them good looks. I think Oregon would win this matchup nine times out of ten. The Huskies chances to make another Final Four will best be served if they don't get sent to the Portland Regional. [/QUOTE]
