You win different ways. Didn't we hear how SC had one of the top defenses? Awesome job by them to slow the game down. But don't we give credit for what we did to their guards? SO many people here preach defense defense defense- and most loved this game - rightfully so. It was a great defensive battle. Not only was UCONN's defense tough on their guards- but Boston while a force did NOT control this game. On the flip side- for all SC's great defense they had no answer for UCONN's strength on offense. Just like in the Tenn game - Tenn made their late run when Paige was out - otherwise that game doesn't need Paige's last shot. This game SC made their late run when UCONN wasn't working enough to get the ball to Paige. They couldn't stop her. Their vaunted dennese had no answers. I read on here - or listened to that awful announcer implying SC wasn't playing while UCONN was or UCONN was fortunate blah bla blah. You think next time if you’re the defense you can count on Paige going 1-6 from 3? LOL. One player means a ton in basketball. We should know that 1st hand with what Dungee did to UCONN and what we've seen over the years with DT, Maya, Stewie and now Paige. And just like the old adage goes - "You run it until they stop you." One of the best defenses in all of wcbb could not stop Paige (UCONN’s number 1 option) while on the other side UCONN stopped an opposing team's very elite high powered offense. How you cannot take pride for all of this? I'm not even a fan of defensive basketball - and I loved it!!! [/QUOTE]
