Azzi driving into the lane for the former forced the defense to work harder on her. Regionals - of our 10 active players, 7 of them have been to the regionals. Adding Paige's experience, albeit from the bench, kinda gives us 7.5 with the experience. UConn travels well, and the coaching staff knows all the pros/cons, pitfalls that can come up in the 2nd weekend of the tourney, along with the expectations that we get past that, as you know "that" question will be asked and answered ad nauseam for the whole weekend. 3rd Q - I posted in the post game thread that as uncomfortable as we were as fans, UConn needed a test in this game to prep for next weekend. With parity abound, gone are the days of the buzz saw UConn teams, aka, 2002, where Bird, Cash, Jones, Williams, and Taurasi were on a mission after losing to ND in NCAA semis the prior season. In 2002, the MOV for regular, BET, NCAA, and total were 38, 39, 27, and 36. The lowest MOV was 9, and the highest was 69. We'll most likely never see that level of domination again. So, for this year, we needed to be tested and figure out a solution. [/QUOTE]
