Looks like Paige is our main offensive threat, but she can't do it alone every night. other teams may double team her, go box and 1, etc. Who becomes our next scorer to take some pressure off of her. Next year it will be Azzi, but who is it now. They all seem to have off nights, last night most of them. Having learned a lesson from Anna's saga, not sure who among them is banged up. Evina had an off night scoring, seems to have had a few. Is she now hurting? Liv does not seem to be a force in big games, certainly not from distance, wish she had a hook shot like Boston's. Williams shooting touch seems to have abandoned her again/still from mid to long range. Muhl is good, but still seems reluctant to take more than a very few shots. Edwards is a banger when in, but does not seem to have a great long range shot. Mir supposedly throws up grenades somewhere in the baskets vicinity. Could be a committee but you can't have a committee of 25% shooters. Maybe we just go great defense, win them 42 to 40 and call it a night. Maybe Geno is keeping the offense a secret until the tourney, don't need it now so don't let people see it and prepare for it.
question for tournament time

Anytime one player accounts for half of your total points you are vulnerable to a bad night or a good defensive scheme. This is not a normal state of affairs for UConn and I'm not sure who would be the 2nd option if we're talking the perimeter game. Last night ONO seemed to think it was her at times, but that didn't work well. I would guess E or Nika at this point.?

Connecticut has 6 players who shoot over 60% from 2-point land, and three (hoping for 4 with Ania back) guards who will hit you if you're open. If Paige is not hitting on a given night, you can be sure she'll be looking for teammates.
