Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4111424, member: 1131"] I posted these stats in another thread, but I have the sense that it wasn't read, so let me repeat it here. The following data is from the UConn-SC box score: For South Carolina: Boston 22 points, 15 rebounds in 34 minutes (includes 7 offensive rebounds) Saxton 2 points, 3 rebounds in 22 minutes Cardoso 4 points, 6 rebounds in 12 minutes Amihere 1 point, 2 rebounds in 17 minutes For UConn: Liv 6 points, 5 rebounds in 34 minutes Aaliyah 6 points, 3 rebounds in 22 minutes Dorka 2 points, 3 rebounds (all offensive!) in 19 minutes The only conclusion to draw from this is that Aaliyah Boston dominated all post players in this game. Apart from her, South Carolina's other three post players had no significant advantage in statistical performance in comparison with their UConn counterparts. Regarding offensive rebounds (where SC dominated in team stats), Victoria Saxton had 2 O-bounds, and no other SC post had more than 1. So it is really incorrect to say that that SC dominated UConn in the paint. The correct statement is that Aaliyah Boston dominated everyone in the paint. If Boston had not played, SC would have had no real advantage in the paint. Of course, Boston is part of SC so this distinction may seem artificial. But still, it's important to realize that we are talking about a supreme performance by one player, not an overall team advantage. I'm sure that will be noted and will make an impact on UConn's game planning for the January rematch. [/QUOTE]
