Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4504315, member: 3535"] I always love different alternatives if it can be effective. It makes a team stronger no doubt. With that said, UCONN's strength if they will ever be healthy is Nika, Fudd, Lou, Caroline and a Swing Griffin. In particular a home run ;lineup is Fudd, Lou and Caroline. That's UCONN's strength. The perimeter overall is UCONN’s strength. I would prefer as a matchup to play to our strength forcing SC to not go "very big." Taking away our strength forcing us to go away from it vs their potential "elite frontline" isn't 100% desirable. In basketball, the tallest team doesn't always win. I'm not in love with going against our strength. Azzi, Lou and Caroline for example in the game, how can a big team defend this if UCONN is healthy? Also, Ducharme if healthy is very strong for her size. Yes she would get outrebounded but it's not like she couldn’t rebound at all. On the flip side she is possibly an elite perimeter scorer that can also put the ball on the floor. Someone with size would have lots of problems with a healthy Caroline. But I agree though – the 3 bigs can be an alternative if Amari shows progression. [/QUOTE]
