[QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 2460398, member: 15"]
Some have questioned why ND didn't go after Azura in the 4th Q with her 4 fouls.   UConn protected her on a few possessions by playing zone, and when Uconn played man Azura was guarding Westbeld who really isn't an attacking type offensive player in the lane and not 100% healthy.  The real issue though was that Mabrey and Ogunbowale seemed determined to take the (perimeter) shots in the 4th quarter.  There was one possession when Shepard posted Collier up and was clapping her hands and calling for the ball and Ogunbowale didn't make the pass.  Had she gotten the ball that might have at least forced Azura to help.  Shepard looked over to the bench as if to say I tried.  On another possession Shepard again posted Collier up (same side of the floor) but instead of passing it to her Mabrey instructed Shepard to come out and set a screen. That's the play that resulted in Mabrey's travel.  UConn ran much better offense during the 4th quarter even with 2 of its best players on the bench.
