Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4663589, member: 3535"] The opposing teams aren't pro teams. They are also flawed. As for UCONN, Griffin was the backup PF for a Final Four team as a sophomore. And she filled in fine when Dorka was out this past year. Now, she is a 5th year senior. And we hear all the time how great players make other players better all the time. SO UCONN potentially has two superstars in Paige and Azzi - yet they are going to be unable to make any other tall player UCONN has not including Edwards as "serviceable?" UCONN’s recruiting has been that pathetic? In addition, the versatility of UCONN is also off-the-charts. For example, Caroline Ducharme if healthy if healthy can play PF. She has played it -- and very effectively. The big teams have to guard her on the outside too. Good luck to them - if if if she is healthy. Elite teams with strong inside games are then not perfect on the outside which UCONN would then be far superior. I'll take the superstars on the perimeter of Paige and Fudd vs any team you want to cite. IMO "better basketball players" usually win regardless of something like size as long as you aren’t overwhelmed by it. To be overwhelmed, which team's are so impossible to guard inside that can also affect big time an elite Bueckers and Fudd run offense at the other end? Because some teams don’t have the shooters and you can pack a zone. etc. Or if they have the shooters their perimter defense is probably suspect if they also have a super power inside game. Unless UCONN is playing a pro team without any flaws? [/QUOTE]
