Message: [QUOTE="JordyG, post: 2118130, member: 6819"] All year long UConn has has trouble dealing with small quick guards off the dribble. Today was a good example of that. That has not only been their Achilles Heel, but its enabled the offense of opposing teams to involve their forwards on dishes and pick and rolls. Especially forwards that are long, lean and athletic. After today that changes. Oregon's guards, Ionescu in particular, is not small and quick, and Kia, ankle issue notwithstanding, should have a better time keeping her in front of her. That doesn't mean Ionescu isn't very, very good. Their forwards are not long , lean and athletic. They have size, but UConn handles size better than long and athletic. Baylor has no small quick guards, although Jones is very good. She depends more on her strength off the dribble and her shooting. I think Jones got jobbed out of 2nd team AA. Baylor has size upfront, but only Mompremier is really athletic, and she is a poor shooter. I don't expect another game where Kia and Lou are both poor from the arc. I expect UConn to be a better FT shooting team herein. I expect more from Crystal Dangerfield herein, and I also expect more Nat herein. [/QUOTE]
