Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5234108, member: 7511"] Some thoughts on the South Dakota St game: [LIST] [*]Congratulations to the Huskies on their 31st straight trip to the Sweet 16, and good luck to every other team trying to reach that total. :cool: [*]To their credit, the Jackrabbits were not intimidated playing the Huskies at the Basketball Capital of the World. They are a tough, well-coached team that plays really hard. [*]At the same time when SD St or any team really challenges UConn, it is inevitable that the response will be some version of Paige taking over the game, as she did wonderfully, scoring 12 straight points on 5/5 shooting plus an “and 1,” on her way to a brilliant 34-point night for her swan song at Gampel. [*]As Rebecca pointed out, Paige has now reached the Holy Grail (50/40/90) for the season. If she carries that forward for another 4 games ;) she will be the 2nd Husky to do so, joining Sue, who achieved that amazing feat during the 2001-02 season. [*][B]KK may not score a single point or even take a shot, but my goodness does she ever impact the game with her DEFENSE!!![/B] [*]We are finally seeing the Azzi Fudd that we all expected when she first came to UConn. She is a great 3-level scorer who can D-up and drop dimes with anyone. As part of UConn's 3-headed monster, along with Paige & Sarah, this UConn team may have all the necessary pieces to finally win #12. [*]Bring on the Sooners!!! [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
