Message: [QUOTE="FanFromMaine, post: 3440818, member: 5017"] I watched the replay so, knowing the score, I could look at the play more closely. My thoughts: 1. I don't know how to rank USF more than what Massey reports but I was very impressed with their two young guards. It was apparent early on that Anna couldn't keep up with the kid from Italy. Geno tried Molly first and defensively she looked good. But she does not provide any offense. So Aubrey was the next logical candidate and she did well defensively too. And because she can take it to the hoop and rebound so well, she finished up. Other matchup will favor Anna I'm sure but not today. 2. To me, the UConn defense looked good from the start. Players are starting to switch better, to recover better and trust each other. Against USF, we needed a third rebounder and AG gave the defense that as well. USF was hot at the start so the defense might have looked worse than it was. 3. The offense, still a work in progress, looked better from the start especially as Liv doing better. I find it as hard as anybody to the see the open misses and blown layups. Especially as these events seem to stagger some psyches. But, as JordyG indicated, players did things offensively this game we haven't seen before. [/QUOTE]
