Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2135858, member: 199"] I think the reason the sophomores get lumped together in comments is because they have been joined at the hip since they arrived at Uconn both on and off the court. And this year in almost every game when one of them had an 'off night' failing to reach 15 points (most players would love to have that kind of game identified as being 'off) the other would score significantly more than 20 points. In a game that ended regulation tied to have both your leading 20+ ppg scorers falling short of that number was 'a difference.' But yes - she certainly did not perform poorly in context. I was surprised Geno didn't try a few more double screen curls for her to get a semi-open 15-18 footer. I also think they probably both are feeling that they could have 'stepped up' more. (Just as every other player on the team is feeling that there was at least one more play they could have made.) In any posts I have made i have certainly been trying not to place blame on any player - they won as a team and they lost as a team. One last thought - every one of the starters made one play that could be considered a crucial 'mistake' during the first 40 minutes, but every one of them also made more than one play during those forty minutes that had they won could have been identified as crucial in a win - that is the way it goes when a game goes to overtime and even then is won on a buzzer beater.
