Has Crystal Dangerfield hit a single shot today?

Again, these were the same shots they've been taking and making since the conference sched began. Except today they were being blocked and/or the forwards were altering their trajectories.
I still don't agree but don't want to extend the argument. But I fail to see how pasting SMU by 40+ points shows that UConn will have trouble against South Carolina even if Napheesa and Gabby get blocked a couple times.

That's a very valid point. The problems that people see are puzzling to me.

Didn't say and didn't mean that. This team always rises to the occasion and manages to figure out a way to win. As Geno said at the end, its a long season and this team needs a team to push them in order to get the best from them. Again as Geno said, you can't expect all your shots to fall all the time. You need to find other ways to score, and as usual today they did. Also SMU' is a good reminder to this team of how to attack and beat length. Just what they needed before Monday.

Eh, against a team like SMU, you can't just look at the final score and conclude "we beat them by a lot, we're totally fine".

Just like you can't look at a Gabby and Napheesa getting blocked a few times and conclude that it means anything in the South Carolina game.

UConn played relatively poorly yet had all starters in double figures in a 40 point win. I see positives there.

The next time you see something you're "totally fine" with, let us know. We'll all raise a glass :rolleyes:
