Message: [QUOTE="PvP, post: 4021748, member: 9955"] Daniel Connolly has a weekly paid-subscription service providing analysis and commentary on a specific UCONN WBB player. I highly recommend this service. This week provided another great film breakdown-specifically on Paige Buecker’s remarkable game against South Carolina last year. However, there was more to be noted in the clips. And that is the play of Aaliyah Edwards and Olivia Nelson-Ododa. If you have access to this analysis, please watch both in each clip and over and over you see Edwards darting to the basket and establishing excellent position. Watching Liv is entirely different. Look, for example, at the drive by Paige where three SC players all coalesced on her trying, unsuccessfully, to stop her (clip no. 8). Liv had handed the ball off to Paige and then just stood there, making no effort to get in possession to put back a miss. This can be seen over and over. See in particular clips #2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 14 and in each where both AE and ONO are on the court, Aaliyah will establish excellent position for a rebound or a put back while Liv either just stands back or gets boxed out. Again and again, these clips show why I believe that Liv will never be the effective and reliable big in high pressure games that we have hoped for these past three years. Look at these clips and it is evident why Edwards is so effective and Liv is the invisible (wo)man. [/QUOTE]
