Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3336039, member: 6911"] Almost a tale of two games or three. Early on, UConn missed easy layup after easy layup. Being height-challenged, they have to make the gimme's. Also ominous that Virginia, not a particularly tall team themselves, were able to come close to UConn in total rebounds. And then there were the double- and triple-teams of ONO. Other teams understand that she has no help coming from the other side. Mob ONO, and she'll have to pass off to the guards for outside shots. On the other hand, Griffin is beginning to play Gabby-like, just a spark plug who hustles and steals, and fights. She's the key. Walker is beginning to play like a star in her own right. We'll have to scrap and scrap to win, because we won't have height this season, and we won't always make those open three's. As Coach Geno put it, our two first-team AA's are gone, this isn't last year's team, and we'll have to find other ways to win. [/QUOTE]
