Aubrey was game-changer vs Baylor by stopping Carrington mid-game. Indeed, Aubrey should have been all over Carrington at the end of the game - "crunch time" - when everyone knew she was their "go to" guy. Geno almost cost us the game with that decision AND the CW foul shots, eh?
and Aaliyah.
All the games are in San Antonio.
I’m surprised by this response, since you seemed to grow more balanced in your commentary over the course of the season. Carrington’s shooting % was not great for the game. Meanwhile, Smith is widely acknowledged as Baylor’s most dangerous player. Most coaches would decide to prioritize coverage of Smith over Carrington. But if that is happening to your best player a well coached team is trained to adapt to that. Baylor did that when Carrington took charge. It also might be that with Richards out Baylor was not as offensively capable of getting the ball to Smith and a guard now needed to take over, but you still need to prioritize Smith’s coverage. Otherwise, Smith might have trued to take over the game late instead and that could have been worse for us.
As the accompanying photo shows, it's pretty obvious that CW was the 'intended' foul shooter as she is seen racing towards Liv - the inbounder - in an effort to get open, which she did. Paige meanwhile is off the court, down in the corner, eh?
According to Geno, Paige was supposed to wait for a screen and then cut off it to get the ball, which gets the ball in the hands of your best foul shooter. Evidently, Paige didn’t do what she was supposed to do.
I double down on @oldude’s response. Not only did I watch the game; I listened to the commentary after the game as well. Apparently you missed that.
Paige is too smart to make a mistake like that. Paige was obviously a 'decoy' because she ran off the court down into the corner, allowing Williams to receive the inbounds pass from Liv.
It is meaningless to everyone and everything except the data entered into a book Otherwise it would not be necessary to play the games.
Maybe so, but as Paige supposedly said to Geno when he was getting on her after the game, "We won."
I think Carrington had "Arike Syndrome" .... final shot at the buzzer to beat UConn ... no way she wasn't taking a shot, any shot (and then do a Skylar ... what? no foul)
Arizonia is also a west coast team.
? You can hear Auriemma screaming at Bueckers during the play. Bueckers later confirmed that Auriemma was mad at her for not fighting through a screen, whether justified or not. If it was a ruse it was an elaborate one.
