Message: [QUOTE="cferraro04, post: 4518622, member: 267"] Hey a win is a win. Edwards didn't have the best game but she proved that she has ice-cold water running through her veins. Aubrey had a great game with 19 and 6. On the other side of the court Maddy Siegrist showed why she is one of the best players in the country...despite UConn's best efforts she still scored 25 points and got 8 rebounds. But, the surprise of the game was Olsen who knocked down 19 points and got 7 rebounds. This game felt like pulling teeth...especially with some of the turnovers players trying to drive through 3 Villanova defenders only to get the ball poked away. Villanova is ranked 2nd in the nation for the fewest turnovers per game...and, they did not disappoint only turning the ball over 9 times. I think the short bench is catching up with UConn and they were playing with tired legs. A lot of shots were short-armed. Let's face it Villanova was able to play their game. They defended well, they took care of the basketball, they were physical committing 18 fouls, they kept the score to the fifties and low sixties...which played to their advantage. Their interior defense was good as they limited Edwards to only 3 field goals. But, at the end of the day UConn found a way to win. What UConn needs is for some of their injured players to heal and get back on the court. Having your starters playing all 40 minutes is a recipe for disaster. [/QUOTE]
