Actually it isn't unreasonable - for a single game. Especially against an over matched opponent. I agree that it would be unreasonable as a season stat.Respectfully, this is unreasonable. The #1 team in the NCAA for least turnovers, Colorado State, has an 8.8 per game average but he the second best is 10.8 per game and it goes up. To expect an uptempo team like UConn tohave less than 10 turnovers can happen, but it’s unlikely
Auriemma is not going to suddenly change his philosophy and his offense for any individual player, no way, no how. He didn’t do it for Taurasi or Stewart, and how did that work out in terms of championships? Fudd will get her shots within the flow of the game and if that means she gets 30 good shots, great. Fudd has already shown she will hunt shots within the offense so she is already unleashed. There are not too many teams playing the way you suggest that are wearing championship rings. And the Warriors have won championships because they play like a team, not because Curry or Thompson go out to get 30 shots.IMO you must preface all of this with: there are going to be severe limitations on what a really good team can accomplish against a poor team. You ever played pickup with your cousins and nephews? Usually not pretty.
Having said that, I don't care if it's her 2nd game back or 200th, UConn needs to get Azzi off!!! No joke, IMO, Azzi could average 7-8 3's a game, unprecedented #'s. Literally Steph Curry or Klay Thompson stuff. Get her 30 shots. She'll hit 15 of them on an off night, with half of them being 3's. Do the math. Yes, 37 points. Stop fiddling around the edges. Let's do this!
Imagine a nip and tuck physical game with SC in February. They can't shoot, so by definition, it'll be tight, if UConn can rebound a little and no turnovers leading to runouts. Then, the sonic boom hits, Azzi hits 3 or 4 threes in a row, UConn rebounds a couple of SC bricks, fans start heading to the exits.
We've gotten a couple tastes, it's time to unleash, to gorge!
I agree with your sentiments regarding team play! I was just a bit hyperbolic about getting Azzi off. Maybe like going to battle with a howitzer that no one else has and you don't use it.Auriemma is not going to suddenly change his philosophy and his offense for any individual player, no way, no how.
