Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3036006, member: 3535"] In bold above can you please explain? We can recall the ND games in which we couldn't beat them down the stretch and lost several in a row. KML couldnt get away from the freshman Jewel Lloyd. ANd this despite having the greatest "pick setter" (Dolson) in UCONN History. And imo KLS is a faster, quicker and ofc longer and taller than KML. Give her a pick-setter like DOlson and she could get off her shot easier. SO she can get more space than KML, right? I can recall down the stretch of those games I wanted UCONN so badly to get the ball to KML. But they couldn't . . . KML couldn't break free. The way KML shot the ball, wouldn't she be the best alternative if she could only break free? And you referred to KLS as a glorified 3pt shooter? Why no call her a 3pt scorer? Mel Thomas was a 3pt shooter. In the NBA Steve Kerr was a3pt shooter while CLay Thompson is a pt scorer. And as far as creating space - they lost 1 game on a last second shot. How often were they challenged? I can remember the one game vsND Muffett saying at the Presser that she had to pull her guard and have the freshman guard KLS because of the bad matchup. Then UCONN proceeded to go to a 1-4 set with Lou at the elbow and she took it to the defender - scored or got fouled etc. And what I highlighted from you in italics - was that a primary response for not including Collier?
