Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3368642, member: 7511"] Some thoughts on the DePaul game: [LIST] [*]Immediately took notice that DePaul did not come out pressing UConn, after the past few years when the Huskies quickly broke the Blue Demons press for easy baskets. Even when DePaul pressed some in the 2nd qtr, it was very soft pressure. [*]As Crystal was raining down 3’s from the cheap seats, I remembered her first game as a freshman when she took a long 3 pointer and Geno got all over her for shooting from that far out. No more complaints from Geno. Crystal’s shooting range is flat-out ridiculous! [*]I thought UConn could have gone to Liv in the low post just about every time down the court. She was a huge mismatch for whichever Blue Demon was attempting to guard her. [*]Crystal’s shooting from downtown lead to the oddest matchup of the night as Doug Bruno decided to have 6’2” Chante Stonewall, his best defender, take a shot at containing Crystal. [*]Credit to DePaul in the 2nd half. Down 26 at intermission they just keep coming at you. They’re like Jason in [I]Friday the 13th[/I]. They shoot 2/13 from the arc in the 1st half, but in the 2nd half, with UConn doing a pretty darn good job of contesting their shots, DePaul just started making everything. [*]Much closer than I thought it would be, but the Huskies are 9-0. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
