Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 3819829, member: 3630"] I predicted that the game would be close one. My only surprise were the missed free-throws. I was glad to see that Aubrey had the 'green light' to shoot threes-- she is a key factor in this team advancement, as she can play with anyone. If defenders are forced to defend her away from under the basket, it will open up the game. I'm surprise that so many are going by ranking to evaluate teams- this year. I have no idea what it means that Uconn is ranked 3/4 or what that # is today. This is a team with very few games, majority freshmen and a lot of inaction. Had Tenn beaten us, would they have been a top 5/10 team? What about us moving down to their spot. Tenn is one of those big teams that is capable of being a match up nightmare for many teams- including a Uconn. They are not yet a So Car because they are missing something. I could not put my finger on it. Horston was recruited (at the last minute) my Uconn and she was very impressive in the U-18 games where she had some impressive teammates. I had expected more a la Boston and the others at Stanford. Very surprise she is playing point guard and not forward. As for Uconn, I was very impressed with this game and win. Yes, the missed a lot of free-throws and their shootings were not good. But they stepped up and made the shots they needed to make to win the game. Also, I don't seriously that their defense could be better. I will give a shout-out to Edwards because she came in and held her own. We have some talented and well disciplined freshmen who are already critical. The team needs Aubrey to start and develop a more broader game. They need Edwards to come off the bench because of the options she makes available. So, all those who are longing for the 'beautiful' games should (re)visit Uconn Husky Games Replay. Or, please tell me which current team you are watching that is holding forth. I saw here at the BY that Stanford lost yet again- 2 games in a row. And I believe I may have read in the NYT that Stanford was a team that found the right solution-- isolate yourself in a hotel far from home and just play. Maybe they are now thinking of returning back to Calif. This virus eats at us directly and indirectly. But, they are those here who will remind me that UCLA was the higher ranked team!!! [/QUOTE]
