Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3382169, member: 7492"] While reading the Alexa P. article from the Courant, I scratched my head at the ONO blocked shots comment as UConn has played mostly P5 opponents in their 10 games, with just Dayton as the lone RPI outlier. I went over to the NCAA stats to review the "leaders" of both # and # per game. The top person is Brittany Brewer of Texas Tech at 69 blocks and 6.27 per game. As we all know Texas Tech is 11-0, let's refresh these opponents for everyone's understanding: The combined Massey SoS is 343 out of 351 teams! They have played 8 teams ranked 300+ They have played 2 teams ranked 200+ The other team ranked on their schedule is 189 My point is while Brittany Brewer may be a fine young lady, she's done this damage against NOBODY's in the WCBB world. Being the tallest person on the court at all times against this cast of misfit teams, gosh, I would hope she would dominate but with the Big12 conference season starting tomorrow, I doubt she will come close to these numbers and will fall behind Olivia. Now all that said, I think Olivia's shot blocking has been underappreciated thus far. Add in her "under control" aggressiveness in not picking up fouls, she is affecting games not seen since Stewie in the middle. She was downright impressive in the Oklahoma game and given all the physical actions done by the Sooners in the paint to her, she has become another player worthy of AA consideration. Her big test comes on January 9th against Baylor with Lauren Cox, Queen Egbo, NaLyssa Smith and Erin DeGrate. Meanwhile, let's be even more appreciative of what ONO is doing! Thanks for the effort Liv, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you thus far! Keep it up. :) [/QUOTE]
