Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 3757623, member: 73"] It was a bad game for both teams. Lack of guard play which is handleing the team (leadership) and passing wasnt there. Cleary SC is missing their graduates from last season who were their leaders Not hitting their outside shots lead to packing in the defense and not allowing the bigs to score. Another point not being able to create their own shots from the outside left both teams unable to score. Too much one on one and rushed shots. Guard play especially point guard play and good passing was lacking by both teams. NC State is a team that grinds and never lets up. SC imo seemed a little lost trying to run their offense and thats because of the kids who graduated who were the leaders on the team last season. SC will struggle this season against good teams because of their lack of leadership. This has been true in their first 3 games. Now look at UConn when they had Sue and Diana and Diana and Maria and MoJeff and Renee etc and look at this season. UConn has passers, shooters and scorers. We have Evina CW Paige and Nika at the guards. We have Anna who is a really good passer and her knowledge of the game is second to none. Pretty good passers and shooters and for the most part we havent seen them play yet. I keep reading threads where fans are saying Gee this team has so many bigs. Well most teams can only play one or two bigs at a time and if those bigs are not good passers or ball handlers well then theyre just trees that sway in the wind. One other point having all those bigs sitting the bench does absolutely no good. Fans are so impressed with height. How many teams have won multiple NC's with bigs and how many have won NC's without a lot of bigs other then UConn? Hey every team can have an off night and with whats going on in sports today that is very true. I expect UConn to excel this season because of the UConn coaching staff having the players ready. Yeah UConn is number 1 this season and I believe the fear factor of playing UConn will be back this season. [/QUOTE]
