Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3420613, member: 3535"] I don't know the answer to who guards her - but "deny her the ball" - I'm sure her whole career teams have tried that. I haven't watched Oregon play much but SI is much stronger and wider than Danger (and DUrr so she'll be able to get the ball more if Oregon wants it vs just Danger guarding her.). Maybe multpile players deny her-- not sure though it can be done consistently. Not arguing. You and others have seen Oregon much, much more than I. :) But what do you think happens if Danger is guarding her and Ionescu can get Danger picked off on the pick-and roll? Danger "guarding" a rolling Hebard? That's mostly doom/ terrible matchup, isn't it? Louisville didn't have a Hebard, did they? And if you deny, and get beat on the deny and Ionescu gets juts a half-step you have given Oregon/Ionescu a much better advantage than vs Louisville/Durr, haven't you? I don't know. You could be right but my guess is multiple players/ different looks. Deny sometimes / don't deny etc. - see what works best as game goes on. [/QUOTE]
