I love your faith but there is ZERO evidence of UConn shooting well in any big game we have played this year-hence the 5 losses by 11, 11, 12, 15 and 18 points. Not exactly close contests. The two glaring issues are points in the paint and rebounding. We would have start shooting more than the 20 3-point shots we take per game and make significantly more than the 7 we are currently doing. A 35.6% 3 point shooting percent is not going to close the gap on our lack of paint points and our lack of rebounding against the other top 16 teams that will be in the NCAAT.If UConn shoots well they are capable of beating every team in the tournament! Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to go six games in a row against increasingly better teams without having at least one ”let down” game! That’s where we’re gonna need excellent defense and some luck!
We have one elite sharpshooter in Paige, 3 average, at best shooters, in KK, Qadance and Ashlynn and Ice should NEVER take another 3. So I just struggle to see how this gets us over the hump without continued Herculean efforts from Paige and Aaliyah.
