Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 2980329, member: 961"] SO we have a team that last night was absolutely exposed On a given night, a team with size and a great game plan can make UConn look ordinary. UCOnn looked like a team that couldn't focus, couldn't run its offense and couldn't make shots., Collier and Samuelson started the game off the way they have recently, missing everything. Have you noticed that, by the way? That in the first quarter, neither seems capable of hitting anything. They usually come around but in this game,. against those bigs, they were not going to get back in the game by driving to the basket and getting points that way. And I say this as an admirer of Collier: Have you noticed how it seems like she's missing more than usual? It would be interesting to work up some stats, which I don't have the time or patience to do, but it seems that way to me. She seems to be missing a lot of the first of two free throws, too. Walker just does not look like she can shoot, Period. I would love to be proven wrong on this, by the way, but she is not contributing to the offense in ways that matter much., As someone said, Williams looked tentative. ONO is a nice player but out of her league in a game like this one, at least until/unless she bulks up some. It appears that this is one of those teams that does or cannot respond when Geno tells them to do something. It also did not appear that he or the team had any kind of answer for the very large pl;ayers they confronted last night. This is not a game where subbing more would have helped. UConn's bench players are on the bench for a reason. For me, this performance has driven home the disturbing reality of what next year's team is going to look like. Williams will get better, which is wonderful. ONO will get stronger. Crystal will be Crystal. Beyond that, the team will rely on Walker and Who Else? for points? There will be no center. The bench will remain the bench. [/QUOTE]
