Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5156973, member: 7511"] Point taken. My point is that trying to add additional responsibilities to Paige’s incredible workload (I.e. handling the basketball for 94’ every possession) is not viable and potentially a recipe for disaster. As for CC, let me clarify my remarks. I think she is more than a capable defender. Lisa Bluder determined that the best version of Iowa basketball required CC to be in attack mode and have the ball in her hands all the time. That takes enormous energy. On the flip side, Bluder limited CC’s defensive responsibilities as a way of focusing her energy on offense. Iowa generally beat teams by outscoring them. For this UConn team to make a deep run in March, they need to hang their hat on defense, and that will take a total commitment from everyone. [/QUOTE]
