I was most pleased that [I][B]Z stayed near the basket and the lane[/B][/I]...where her 6'6" and long arms are a dynamic weapon with offensive and defensive rebounds, shot blocking or disrupting and scoring.  I get that she had "success" at Duke from 3pt range, and supposedly "hits them in practice"...but 15.6% from 3 when it "counts" is not what UConn needs when they have 36%, 41+%, 46+% and 49+% from four other players ... of which 2 or 3 or 4 will be most likely be on the court at the same time as her...unless UConn is so far ahead that the Subs are finishing things up.  In NCAA Tournament UConn will benefit from Z making her layups, her new baby hook shot, offensive/defensive rebounding, making mid range jump shots and out to the foul line.  Make some of those shots and that will bring the oppositions big(s) out to guard her and open up areas for others.  And, of course having her in the lane near the basket will be a defensive force that will be very disruptive to opposing players shooting.
