Message: [QUOTE="FanHam, post: 2123864, member: 7690"] The biggest mismatch of the UConn v. Oregon game last night was Sabrina Ionescu versus Geno, Chris, Marissa, Shea... and Gabby. Sabrina will remember those first five minutes for quite some time. I know I will just for the beauty of it. I loved the rope-a-dope moves where Ducks were throwing to teammates who appeared to be open but, alas, were not. It was genius. The kids were in total control. A few anomalies: Lou and Crystal seem to be snake-bitten of late from beyond the arc. Crystal's heaves are starting to look haphazard. Oregon shot pretty well - 42% - when they managed to hold on to the ball long enough to get a shot off. Some love for Natalie. She was a rebounding beast, as she usually is, but last night she grabbed eight in only 10 minutes of playing time which, bear with me, extrapolates to [B]32[/B] if she played the full forty. Again though, bad things happened as soon as she brought the ball down below her shoulders. Still, I think either Bill Laimbeer or some other WNBA coach is thinking she's worth a pick for her size, ability to run the court, great passing sense and soft jumper. Oregon may be the next pretender in WCBB. McGwire and Hebard have great size and good touches and will only get better. Ionescu is already better. They have a good coach. They'll be back, for sure.
