Message: [QUOTE="Zinethar, post: 5142811, member: 8436"] I guess I watched a different game with my admittedly biased eyes. To me for most of the time UConn's TEAM outplayed ND's TEAM. Yes Hildalgo got hot for a bit. I believe the plan was to single cover her and if she scored don't let the rest of the team beat you. Their post was totally nonexistent (except for her constant moving screens that looked more like running interference). Geno expected Ash to take Azzi's place and get aggressive. She still stops shooting once she misses a couple shots. Can't have that. I had hoped she could make up for Azzi's missing points but she scored 0. Not blame just fact. Chen and KK both scored in double figures - I had asked 3 others to score 10 points or more. We got 2 and our post duo had 8. Pretty close. I asked for Sarah to score 20. A bit close but sitting for a quarter in foul trouble caused that miss. As for Paige - she still refuses or is not capable of doing what Geno asks. Be aggressive for the WHOLE game. She score 2 points in the first half. Ended with 25. She again waited too long to assert herself but proved that she could indeed do that. Lessons hopefully learned. This team is very good and I still think a far better team than ND when Chen and KK are driving. What was the biggest problem? Too many missed shots. That should get better over time. Understand how ND was rebounding - they didn't often try to get the rebound but rather hit it outside where their players were stationed while UConn packed it in. UConn is young, talented, and smart. They will learn. Don't forget in one season ND beat UConn 3 times in the regular season but UConn won when it mattered. [/QUOTE]
