Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3914474, member: 7093"] Yes, that freshman from Brazil is a handful. I guess the Syracuse women have paid attention to the Syracuse men in using that zone. The men are succeeding, to some degree, because teams they come up against have not seen it or played against it. Not a lot, in any case. It is only easy to break if you have deadly three point shooters. But UCONN did break it down eventually. Nice coaching job there. I agree that Olivia blossomed yesterday. And when she hits the jump-back 8 footers, she can't be stopped. Aubrey was also terrific and disruptive. Paige was off early, but outstanding once she found a rhythm. Her passing was first rate....except for that one poor choice on the full court pass that was not manageable. Evina was rock solid and Anna may be finding her " legs." Williams was deprived of her favorite drives to the hoop ( largely), but she still did her thing....and it mattered. Te three from half court corner has to be the game highlight. I think Paige still doesn't know what happened. She saw it but didn't believe it. And Edwards is simply the heart and soul of the team. She gets battered and batters right back. It is an amazing mix of players and talents we have. They found some more grit yesterday. [/QUOTE]
