Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2659026, member: 7492"] I am going to give a slight contradiction to [USER=59]@vowelguy[/USER] assessment in that UConn didn't have "slightly better players" but [B][I]significantly better[/I][/B] players. Kia-Canadian Olympian; Gabby-2 time all-American; KLS-2 time all-American, USA Basketball plus HG#1; Pheesa, 2-time all-American, USA Basketball plus HG #6; Crystal Dangerfield-HG#3, numerous USA team starter; add in Z all-ACC performer HM All-American and Megan Walker-HG#1, USA Basketball (who looked very good last night, not deferring so much and acting like she belonged) Now compare that to SC-Wilson, no need to expound, Harris-HG#26, USA Basketball and what or who else????? Herbert-Harrigan-HG#72; Jennings HG#66; Freshman Grisset HG#23; Freshman Jackson HG#43; Freshman Williams HG#48. Missing were injured HG#35 Cuevas-Moore and transfer T'ea Cooper HG#12 All 7 UConn players were on last night and the result was what we saw. SC played as well as they could given their only other top experienced player, Cuevas-Moore was out as she can be a lights out 3 point shooter though she sometimes plays with her hair on fire. So yes, they were significantly OUTGUNNED. As the saying goes, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken ... I am not understanding why so many want to "dismiss" Dawn's coaching here. She has her quirks-chip on the shoulder/us against the world angst which is similar to Muffet but both can coach. Muffet is #2 and Dawn is probably in the 7-10 range. Last night was a mismatch once Crystal Dangerfield hit all those 3's. [/QUOTE]
