Message: [QUOTE="FanHam, post: 2981897, member: 7690"] OK, it's been a day or so and I'm healing. My take is you can lose to anyone if you shoot 29%. Period. I thought they played well, put forth a good effort, yadda yadda, but their shooting left plenty to be desired. If they'd shot 50% they would have won by 10+. The lousy shooting exposed the size differential because there were so many rebounds available after UConn shot attempts. But in the end, rebounds were even, so size is at best a poor excuse. I thought they could have improved their shot selection by taking more pull-up jump shots. We're ridiculously jaded by decades of UConn WCBB excellence, and no sane fan is seeing this loss as a trend. Kudos to Baylor for sticking to their maximize-time-of-possession/minimize-UConn-offensive-sets plan of attack. In the end, that may have been the true deciding factor. A team shooting 29% needs LOTS of shot attempts. Onward and upward. This loss will serve them well once the bruises heal. [/QUOTE]
