Message: [QUOTE="luminosity, post: 4527689, member: 10951"] Azzi and Caroline would have made a huge difference. This seems obvious. Yes, UCONN, even without those two, have an incredible offense. However, to get to that level, they all have to work incredibly hard. The result of that are periods of exhaustion as we often see in the 2nd and 4th quarters. Adding Azzi and Caroline means that you can produce the same high quality of offense with less effort which can help to prevent the drops in quality that we see at the end of each half and allows the team to put even more effort on defense and rebounding. Adding Azzi and Caroline, two scorers that can carry games by themselves, also stops defenses from focusing on Lou, the sole consistent outside threat. That, in turn, opens up the paint for drives. All of this would have helped against South Carolina and given them a better chance to win the game. [/QUOTE]
