Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 3539645, member: 730"] LOL You reminded me of S Car a few years ago when they had Coates, Etc. and their fans predicted that they would wear down a short-benched UConn squad with all their size and depth. Mid way through the 1st half it was those SC posts who were doubled over exhausted and it was UConn who won, easily. UConn has played S Car 7 times since the 2015 season and is 7-1. Every game but one was a UConn win, and a fairly easy one at that. I'd guess that in every game it was S car that had the size and depth edge. In 2018 NPOY Wilson had 16 boards but was held to 14 pts on 4-18 shooting while being guarded by a UConn team that was very short on size. Stevens was the only post on the team and played 17 minutes with 2 pts and 3 rebounds so UConn had to guard Wilson with 5'11" Gabby Williams and 6'1" Collier. Final score - 83-58 UConn. The game was at S Car. In the regional final UConn won 83-58. Wilson had a real good game but it was over at the half with UConn winning 94-65. Both games were essentially over at the half. and 53-24 and 54-33. In S Car's championship season they had Coates and Wilson lined up against Collier & Williams. Two posts vs zero posts. UConn won 66-55. Size is nice. But even with a decided edge in height and/or front line depth S Car has beaten UConn once in 9 tries. [/QUOTE]
