Message: [QUOTE="Rowdy831, post: 5162785, member: 12516"] When you are playing mediocre teams no statistics really matter. UConn plays ten or so players in every Big East game because they have so much more talent that other teams and the games are usually not that close. If you are playing your second team for 1/3 of the game it stands to reason the play will become more sloppy and your fundamentals such as rebounding might be challenged. Where my concern would be is when they play better teams. Face it UConn could win every game starting Paige and Sarah along with any other three players in the Big East this season. When they play ND or USC they were exposed or at least a couple players were exposed as not ready for that level of competition. The challenge is how do you prepare your team to compete with the 5 or 6 best teams when tournament time comes. So far UConn is 0-2 against teams that could be considered top 6 with South Carolina still on the schedule. The rebounding doesn't matter in league but it will against the best teams. Problem is by time that is figued out the season is over. [/QUOTE]
