We have height that is athletic, very good ballhandlers, we are quick, fast, aggressive, skilled, mature and coachable. Our height and athleticism on both sides of the ball is what makes us go. That translates into playing like guards at every position even at 6'2. Opponents have a problem when you have a defender 6'2 that is as quick as they are who can play defense and take you one on one on offense. Against Ohio St a good defensive team we saw that.
What makes UConn so tuff to defend is they dont depend on one or two players to score. They execute as a unit and everybody touches the ball. Keeping everybody involved is a key so theyre just not standing around waiting for someone to go one on one. They play as a team which makes them so difficult to defend.
This team is built on defense. UConns defensive is undescribable. They are swarming like a nest of bees coming at you that dont give up. We have seen how they operate on defense. Our offense yesterday against a team that plays good defense gave up 100 pts and we had 5 players in double figures. It appeared to come together.
We have so many players that can do so much and unexpectedly surprise us with some of the things they do. Yesterday was a good example of that. Blanca looked like a race horse that had athletic moves we have not seen. What a great addition she is on both sides of the ball. She plays with alot of confidence. Her anticipation is incredible. Allie is another big surprise this season. Watching her break the press and her ball handling skills are impressive.
It was fun watching them yesterday and they were having fun doing what they do. They are exciting and do the unexpected.
How good is UConn this season? I think UConn is unbeatable as long as they dont have any key injuries. They could lose a game but that would be on them and I dont think Geno will let that happen. They are overwhelming on both sides of the ball and they have so many players who can do so many things. Theyre tuff to guard one on one and theyre tuff to score on.
As the season progresses and they grow this could be one of Genos greatest teams.
We're going to the top......the very top.....again
