Message: [QUOTE="veryolddog, post: 3073866, member: 129"] Again, I agree with your analysis. These youngsters are playing with zeal and with the skills that have been honed this season. From a personal point of view, I would like Olivia learn how to deploy her skills without fouling so much. It clearly shows that the center of our defense is heavily dependent upon her capabilities to plug up the area around the basket. On the other hand, I also would like to see the refs make calls against the opposite team for the fouls that were not called against those banging on Olivia. I also was impressed after Geno yelled at Oliva to drive the basket that she became more aggressive about scoring once she was on or around the basket. On numerous attempts to score, she either was fouled or scored or both. Good job. It also showed that when she was removed from the lineup, UConn did not have an effective way to plug up the center. I hope that the future will bring those resources in recruiting so that replacements will compliment the team when situations like this occur. [/QUOTE]
