Message: [QUOTE="fairluvwar, post: 3426852, member: 6933"] This is not a personal knock on MW, as some would lead you to believe because any basketball criticism you have instantly means you are making a personal attack on the girls apparently, but out of curiosity what game against a top level team has Meg shot well against in her 3 years at UConn? I don't recall one. To me that's the definition of "not showing up". Not because shes heavily focused on or guarded and is forced into taking difficult shots. She just for whatever reason can't hit the broad side of a barn against the top competition. It's a trend it's a habit, to me it's become her identity. CW, outside of that first Notre Dame game is trending that way some as well. No one cares if you can average 20 pts a game against inferior competition, this is all about those small handful of games every year and the ones deep in the tourney. I appreciate those eternally optimistic positive half cup full people but at a certain point, come on. It becomes delusion. We know what this team is, and it's not very good. They're good. Period. End of sentence. Not great not even very good, just good. They have talent but they lack the competitive edge and the ability to put it all together. Every year we talk about the handful of teams that have a shot to win a championship, and that handful may be growing slightly in the womens game. It does not include UConn this year, it just doesn't. Doesn't mean we dont still love them and root for them like crazy. But this is supposed to be a forum for people to express their views and opinions and insights and those dont always have to be blasting sunshine up everyone's butts. We are allowed to criticize basketball skill without it meaning it's a personal attack on someone. [/QUOTE]
