Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3357421, member: 5798"] The Seton Hall game was a win for UConn in many ways. As you mentioned, with Crystal out, and ONO and Christyn in early foul trouble, it forced UConn to come together and fight their way back from a double digit deficit in the first half. Liv must stop using the "tomahawk" technique when attempting to block shots. THAT technique will more times than not put her on the bench prematurely in the first half. UConn got away with her being on the bench for all but 4 minutes of the first half. They may not be so lucky if they do that against the elite teams. If you noticed her play in the second half, she only picked up 1 foul. She finished with 3. Somebody said something to her during her time on the bench. She could see how being on the bench hurt her team, and how they struggled without her. She can't block every shot. She's got to learn how to pick her battles. As you said, sometimes she's not in position to block a shot, so back off. No cheap fouls. Liv must learn that she does not have to block a shot be be effective. If she can make a player change their shot, that's almost as good as a block. It was a fun game to watch because we saw 3 of the 4 reserves play extended minutes, overcome adversity, and [U]contribute[/U] to a team win. Seton Hall had no answer for Liv. Their tallest player is 6'2" (So. Femi Funeus). I don't believe she got in the game. They didn't contest the jump ball to begin the game. Had she stayed in the game, SHE quite possibly could have had a breakout game. Her first two baskets last night were real easy. One other small item that no one has mentioned. Seton Hall (5-3) had played 2 more games than UConn (6-0) before last night. [/QUOTE]
