The Bottom Line

[MD#12Fan]

I believe Arkansas was simply better! Never underestimate the power of their 3 fifth year players.One of them, Dungee is a premier performer. Expect her in top 3 WNNA draft. UConn’s freshmen showed a lot of grit, and gained valuable experience.The sky is not falling!

So Arkansas is better than UConn. Hold the presses.
So, how far do you see us going in the tournament before they run into another good offensive team? What line is Arkansas on? 5 line, 6 line. We're a 2 as of today.
Do we make it to the round of 32?
Arkansas is never better than UConn!! You guys are too nice. Sometimes the legitimate, appropriate reaction is to be PO'ed.

I’m not a player on the team, and I wasn’t involved in the scouting report. But as a fan who has watched a number of Arkansas games, even I know that Ramirez is a great outside shooter. There was one play where Christyn left Ramirez in the corner to cover some space closer to the lane. The ball was immediately pitched out to her and she dropped in a long range shot. The camera then panned to Geno screaming why are you leaving her? Those are the mental defensive mistakes that popped up all night long. A lot of our defensive challenges seemed mental, not physical, which is uncommon for a uconn squad. Just an interesting observation, not sure what it means.

Dungee created her own shot and was incredible, but it seemed like Ramirez needed space, and unfortunately, we gave her too much in many cases.
