"Their guards were the big difference," Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said. "Their guards totally outplayed our guards at both ends of the floor, I thought. Their guards were much more aggressive about getting into the lane and creating offense for themselves."

It was surprising how unprepared the team was dealing with the ball-handler in pick and roll situations. It takes a coordinated team effort to defend, not just a good (guard) on ball defender. To often the on ball defender got picked and there was no help defense... ball-handler just dribbled right to basket and laid it in. The team looked clueless about how to defend that action. How were they not prepared for that? It was pretty public knowledge that Stanford was moving toward a guard orientate pick and roll offense.

we may never know the answer. We may never need to know. Personally I just want to see them fix the problem.
