Message: [QUOTE="Jmsdawg, post: 4144939, member: 9243"] My Take, I feel UCONN is an elite team and has an elite coach. An elite team does not go undefeated very often when you play other elite teams so why am I concerned about UCONN being 6-3 this early in the season, all three loses had a common base, in particular, a bad fourth quarter both defense and offense. Fourth quarter fatigue normally is directly related to depth and I feel fatigue is a definite factor in the UCONN losses. Certainly injuries have contributed to the depth problem but IMO depth has to be developed via playing time for the nonstarters. Case in point, Ducharme is obviously talented but her playing time before the injuries was limited. The comparison with South Carolina, another elite team with an elite coach, clearly shows SC bench is being developed via playing time. To me that says UCONN MUST DEVELOP ITS BENCH PLAYERS. [/QUOTE]
