Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2033911, member: 7511"] I think SC and Davis will do a reasonable job defending Lou, but here's the problem. UConn doesn't play 1 on 1 basketball and they will get good shots for Lou regardless. They will run her on the curl at the foul line where she is a deadly shooter. They will pull everyone out of the lane, flash her into the paint and feed her the ball in the low post where she doesn't miss. They will set a high screen at the arc will Lou will take a couple dribbles to run her defender into the screen and shoot an open 3. Lou is not fast but she runs the court extremely well. On fast breaks before the defense can set up she will sprint to the basket or slide out to the arc where her teammates will get her the ball before the defense is set. Finally, if Davis or anyone else overplays her when she has the ball, she is capable of putting the ball on the floor and with her long strides and Inspector Gadget arms, she is very good at driving to the basket and making a long scooping layup with either hand. TX, ND & MD all defended Lou well for a qtr or even a half, but eventually she was able to get her shots and score. [/QUOTE]
