Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 4275599, member: 11599"] Can’t argue with the outcome.Dawn had her team ready from the jump. Hard to win a game when you allow another team so many extra possession. Tonite, SC was clearly better. Unfortunately, both times UConn has faced SC, Azzi has been less than 100%. Not implying it would have changed the outcome. My only disappointment was Paige’s lack of urgency in the second half. On too many possessions in the second half, she acted if she was a secondary option. I would have preferred her launching 30 shots and missing, particularly with Azzi missing in action and Williams not scoring. Maybe she wasn’t physically able, but I didn’t see the team screening and double screening, trying to free her up. She was the only player able to create for herself against SC’s stifling defense. Again, what she has accomplished coming back so quickly is astonishing, but for a person with her offensive skills, she doesn’t get to the free throw line nearly enough. Hopefully, she can add more of it to her stellar game next season after an off-season recovery and rebuild. Great season, but sometimes the other team is simply better. Congrats to SC and Dawn Staley. [/QUOTE]
