Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4823234, member: 1131"] Those numbers are all true, and watching the game from a near-courtside seat in the arena, it felt to me like a blowout after the first quarter. Even so, some of the team numbers were surprisingly "meh": [LIST] [*]Louisville led 11-5 in offensive rebounds, and 9-5 in second-chance points. [*]Turnovers were high and nearly even: 19 for Louisville vs. 20 for UConn. In the arena, it felt like UConn was dominating in that department. [*]Steals were tied at 12-12, again quite different from what it felt like watching live. [*]Points off turnovers only favored UConn by 25-22. [*]Points in the paint were 40-30 in UConn's favor, which is impressive against a bigger team which was really quite skilled, but still that isn't such a big margin. [*]BUT -- fast break points favored UConn by 24-10, which is exactly what it felt like watching the game live. [*]Bench points were 25-9 in favor of UConn (um, actually it was in favor of Aubrey, who scored every single one of them). [/LIST] I wonder if some posters still think that Aubrey's finishing skills aren't good enough for the WNBA. I'm thinking that the Connecticut Sun might draft her in the second round as a one-for-one replacement of Tiffany Hayes (who was also drafted in the second round way back long ago). Remember that their coach, Stephanie White, was sitting courtside broadcasting yesterday's game. [/QUOTE]
