Message: [QUOTE="Bjbod, post: 3930272, member: 11196"] Arizona is not a great shooting team. For the year: 41% on FG's, 34% on 3's, 69% on FT's. This is subjective, but when I've watched them a lot of their misses aren't close. McDonald has been hot the past 2 games, but for the year she's 33% on 3's. They only have one player, Cate Reese, who shoots them at better than 39%...and she's only 13-29 for the year, so one trey every other game. They only assist on 47% of their baskets (295/624); I know they score on turnovers but this is a low number. UConn assists on 64% (602/943). This points to less passing and more attempts on creating one's own shot. Unless the Huskies lose discipline and get tired of playing solid defense I don't see this game as being close. Make their mediocre shooters beat you from outside and use your height advantage to control the boards. They may get a few runs on a few turnovers, but I see this as a game where UConn gradually grows the margin as the game plays out. Lead may approach 30 with a drop off the last few minutes. UConn moves on 81-57. [/QUOTE]
