Message: [QUOTE="and one, post: 3409017, member: 10475"] Was it an ugly game? Kinda, but not entirely. For UT it was ugly, four quarters worth. Their turnover numbers were inexcusable, good D or not, and their second half was mailed in. More of a mixed bag for Uconn. The third quarter was super duper entertaining and took all the heart out of TN. The other three quarters were meh. All we needed to do in the fourth quarter was score a few points and hang on - mission accomplished. This isn't a team that executes pretty back doors or nice jumpers off screens on a consistent basis, something we are used to seeing. But they are good enough to beat 98% of the teams in the country, which is saying something. Meg's and Christyn's shooting...tough to watch. As the game went on both seem resigned that their shots wouldn't go down. Both did some nice things otherwise, but not the game they wanted or we wanted to see. ONO played ok when in, better in the second half. Hardly dominating but adequate. She got some nice rebounds and most of Uconn's points in the fourth quarter. There has been hope that she would be a scorer from outside the paint, and she does make a few outside shots, but her shooting looks awkward, including at the foul line. Dirk Nowitzki she ain't. Griff and Anna did themselves proud. Both should and will see plenty of floor time for the rest of the season. Griff is likely to get her extra minutes from Christyn and Ono, and Anna from Kyla. Griff gets her own paragraph. That kid really wants to dominate on both the O and D end of the floor and is beginning to get the hang of that. Next year there will be more players that can help her do all the things she can do so well and double doubles will pile up. All in all we won and beat TN. I would have been just miserable had we lost. Don't want to lose to TN or ND, now or ever. [/QUOTE]
