Big P---Nice post.  We post some semi-negative things about Mulkey, but I doubt many think she isn't a good coach.  She definitely is a good recruiter.
Uconn isn't very effective against more than one big, Geno has masked that weakness, but it remains so. With Azura on the floor Uconn is a much better than good team.  Azura, is learning to be a post--she is a super talent, but she is Uconn's only true BIG.  Nothing on the bench to replace or relieve her
It is not that Geno didn't spend many months, maybe years, trying to recruit two 3 or more bigs--they just were not matches for Uconn.  So--I can't blame Geno, some do, for this lack--recruiting is the biggest crap shoot this side of Vegas.  The odd makers only look at who is coaching Uconn and the odds go, usually, towards Uconn.==However I'd trade those odds for at least 2 capable bigs over 6 ft 4 inches.

The other side of that coin is that thankfully Uconn may not meet TX or Baylor until the NCAA's and maybe not then.  Nearly everyone else Uconn has played and defeated, yes there are exceptions, but I like Uconn's chances.
