[QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3775625, member: 3535"] I'm with you in regards to the Big East. But for me-- I think they can put any decent lineup out there. With that said I would expect one or two games this year - regardless of lineup-- to be a nail-biter. But in regards to the big lineup- I think they (both) cover the perimeter "mediocre." Not bad but not good either imo. One player can be masked-- but both -- then add in Paige - just not a stellar defense giving up too much potentially on the perimeter. And maybe AMak isn't so stellar either if she is playing quick wings. Also, I think it's as you point out - their tendency to foul which is why I say "mediocre." Early in the 2nd quarter just vs Creighton- who is not a top 20 team- Liv had two fouls due to her mediocre perimeter defense, and Edwards just had an incidental bump on a perimeter player. This early they picked up 3 perimeter fouls vs a very mediocre team. I can expect that vs a top ten team but possibly sooner. Further, it's just too easy to put too many plays in the refs hands if they are going against crafty guards on a pick-n-roll that know how to sell being bumped.. And while I think they can still run effective with both on the floor - I think their fastbtreak can become devastating if just one is on the floor vice 2. All the things you say are true - yet adding up the negatives as a total-- it just isn't worth the risk imo along with I don't think their defense will be any better overall and we become a slower team when I feel they should look to be a fast team highlighting more skill with just one big on the floor. I think with Paige and their other guards/wings -- that style of play is best. [/QUOTE]
