Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 4441873, member: 10363"] Fudd did not come to Uconn out of the woodwork, and Duke was not her first rodeo. She played completely within the context of the game. The idea that something is “wrong” because she only took 13 shots is nonsense because it wasn’t necessary in the least when you looked at the scoreboard. I can pretty much assure you that had the score been different she would have hunted more shots. I can also pretty much assure you that if more shots showed she would have taken them. Funny, I posted several times criticizing Bueckers for only taking the same 13 shots against both Arizona 2 years ago and SC last year (in tournament years) when Uconn NEEDED her to hunt shots and you would have thought I committed blasphemy. My final word on the subject; my definition of “held” is that a team takes a player out of the game, out of their comfort zone as a “complete” player and that did not remotely happen to Fudd against Duke. If you judge a player’s game solely by shots taken and points scored, fine she was “held” in your eyes. But I don’t judge players that way in the least. I look at how did they contribute or not within the context of that game and what is needed by the team that day. So in my eyes Duke did nothing to Fudd that prevented her from contributing in big ways other than scoring from blowing Duke off the floor. Her 3 assists to open up the 2nd half turned 12 to 19 in a flash and the rout was on. [/QUOTE]
