Against Arizona, Paige only got 13 shots because Aari MacDonald was playing ball deny defense on her, and she has the energy to do it. For UConn to succeed against that defense, someone else has to step up, hit some shots, and make Arizona switch defensive schemes... and no one else did. There's one almost comical moment when Paige gets the ball and Aari slipped and fell, and Paige promptly sank a 3. It was that kind of game.

This leads me to believe that the "hunting shots" image doesn't really fit either of those games. You can't hunt your shot if you're the only threat, which is what happened in each game. This says to me that we have to have more than one scoring threat this time around. I'll leave it up to everyone else to decide if we have more than one scoring threat this year. But I will observe that in SC's close call against Georgia -- don't worry, I know what the final score was -- the bulk of the scoring came from Cooke, and mostly in the second half. Imagine what would have happened if Georgia had been able to sustain their defensive pressure against her for the entire game.
