What are UConn's weaknesses?

[Tenspro2002]

1) Size
While Gabby and Collier offer some rim protection via their athleticism, nobody has the size to defend against a true post for 40 minutes.

2) On-ball defense
Our guards with the exception of Nurse sometimes struggle to contain penetration, which can lead to layups or kick-out 3's. Big halves given up to Temple and USF come to mind. We've also had a few teams go off from deep, which is the only way we can lose.

3) Depth
There are only 6 players whom Geno really wants to have out there in a tight/competitive game. Foul trouble -- particularly to Collier or Williams -- can cause the offense to become stagnant at times.

While on the whole I think the team defense is pretty good, there seems to be a glaring weakness that shows up fairly often. They are lousy at defending the 3 ball against teams that have shooters. Today and the last game showed that to some extent. Usually that has been buried by a lopsided score, but there have been a few times, including Tulane, where it was evident.
In one respect they have gotten better. For a good part of the season there were often shooters beyond the arc left wide open; no one even near them. Now that doesn't happen except occasionally. But even now opponents that try seem to get off and make threes with regularity.
Eliminate or minimize that problem and I don't think there is a team that has a chance to hang with them.

To Geno, and to many Husky fans, "weakness" is a synonym for "lack of perfection".

Fouls and injuries are the biggest scares. If the officiating puts our starters on the bench, we will be "weak." If we have a 20-point lead, the bench can hold the fort until the regulars come back in or we reach the final buzzer.

If Lou gets her shooting touch back on track (and that appears to be a very big "IF" at present), no one will touch this fantastic team. To me, this is currently the only real weakness UConn has. However. UConn will be very hard to beat even if Lou has yet another mediocre game.

Tired. UConn works so hard that they are tired by the time that they get to the game.

A reliable source has said, "teenagers don't get tired."

"We're pretty good," Auriemma said after a 105-57 win over Tulsa in the conference tournament quarterfinals. "I mean, I've gotta say that. We're pretty good. I can't deny it. At some point I'm going to have to say we're really good. But we're pretty good right now."

That's our weakness. Or, Geno has just put a little Geno fuel in out team's tank.

Greatest weakness? those depressing gray (or whatever color that is ) Nike uniforms. It must be difficult for the players to recognize each other in those uglies. Hopefully, we wear white the rest of the year.

Note that Geno has 3 different levels of approval:

Pretty good
Really good
Really really good
