My two cents on last night:

DePaul was much better than I anticipated.  The offensive weave that they displayed at the beginning of both halves was terrific and really pressured the UConn D.  Unfortunately Bruno doesn’t have the athletes to keep it up the whole game.

And UConn then responded with more drives to the hoop with our better athletes.  DePaul’s zone just couldn’t adjust quickly enough.

DePaul doubled nicely down low and forced our post players to become passers.  To me they seem not ready for that yet but it may come later as the team jells.

I saw Megan struggle last night as she did against St John’s.  But in both games she seemed to be often playing against much smaller, quicker players.  Both opponents play with one post and four guards mostly. Megan defensively is still evolving and, as above, she gets sped up in the post when doubled offensively.

But Megan along with Kristin are so athletic and have such big frames it is a pleasure to watch even as they learns.  Each one showed glimpses of their competence last night.
