Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 5291072, member: 3834"] I just think that with Geno’s unrelenting focus on defense as the primary foundation of this team and the accompanying fact that most of our games are laughers by the middle of the third quarter, it is very unlikely that we will see much more than mid 80s at the outside. It certainly seems like they could score in the 90s, perhaps even approaching the century mark but similarly to individual scoring, it just never seems to happen. I certainly believe we’ve had a number of players who, talent wise, are capable of scoring with the Watsons, Hidalgos, Latsons, Clarks etc but in spite of the talent, it just never seems to happen. Geno’s style of play just does not allow for that kind of individual dominance over the course of a season. Instead it encourages a sort of spreading out of the talent. I could far more easily see Sarah for example, at some point in the next three years, approaching a triple double average than seeing her set some sort of scoring mark (for UConn) at say…25ppg. She definitely [B]could[/B] average 25 ppg but is not likely to do so here as she sees (and enjoys) the value of other things besides scoring. That, in a nutshell, explains why virtually everyone remarks on the beauty of how our girls play the game. [/QUOTE]
