Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 5217388, member: 961"] For whatever they are worth: 1. First, the venue, from a first-timer. The place is wonderful. No bad seats. But the arena announcer is the worst I have heard in my life. Opinions about her overly dramatic style are a matters of taste, but missed foul announcements and missed substitutions were really annoying. In one game, she was even missing calling the name of the scorer, opting for "UConn basket." 2. IMHO, UConn's point guard play was a disappointment. Numerous unforced errors and both KK and Chen had their pockets picked. Th3y both seemed to be playing too fast. Do that against a halfway decent team in the NCAAs, and UConn is toast. 3. UConn seems to only do two types of defense, from what I can see. The chaos defense, which we all know and love, and a more relaxed, regular defense. When they do chaos, it almost invariably results in something good, and sometimes a UConn basket. The other defense, not so much. What is interesting, IMHO, is that when they fo chaos, the whole team seems more energized, both on O and D. On offense, there is less ofvthe standing around that Geno hates.Players seem to hit their spots more consistently and there are more crisp passes. 4. Sarah Strong is amazing. 'Nuff said. 5. There are still an awful lot of lapses on three-point defense. They will be there wally good for a while and then tge opponent gets open two or three times in a row. 6. It's hard to argue with three wins in a row and a trophy, but the team has work to do to be ready for the next rounds. I dan hardly wait. [/QUOTE]
