Message: [QUOTE="Ozimoto, post: 4498558, member: 6677"] That is an excellent observation about the trend in assist numbers recently. In the last few games, Nika's assist numbers have dropped but assist numbers from Dorka have increased. As I see it, at the beginning of the season, Nika was getting a lot of her assists in the transition game when we were playing OOC games. Once the Huskies started playing league games, opposing teams were sacrificing offensive rebounding to take away the transition game, forcing the team to play more half court offense. The half court offense was, shall we say, a bit ragged. Many entry passes into the paint from the perimeter were intercepted or the recipient was double teamed. The half court offense has improved drastically with Dorka's return to the lineup with her ability to pass from the high post and her assist numbers reflect that. Aaliyah is contributing assists from the high post as well. UConn is using the high post position to run the half court offense much like the teams with Dolson on them did. You are seeing the high post driven offense when Amari is in the game as well. Her passing from the high post is her strength right now. Having good passers at the high post position has changed the half court offense significantly for the better. [/QUOTE]
