I think the point is to drive the shooter off the 3pt line and into the lane. We lead the nation in blocked shots. We're going to give up some layups; we can't shut anyone out. Well, maybe for a quarter we can.
That point guard they have is legit, no matter what happens today. She's a generational player - looks like.
I emailed them and they gave me an exception.
Boston today had 22 points and 15 rebounds, care to comment about who ought to be starting at Center?
Geez, the guy merely gave his opinion with a question. Basketball is a game of matchups, and as such, coaches will tailor their game personnel depending on the situation. What works in one game may not work in another — I get what he was asking. I don’t understand why people criticize others for their opinion on an Opinion board. Why does every want to fight when someone else offers their thoughts?
I have a long memory, it’s a personality defect, I work on it. I was not rude, smart ass? Maybe. I just asked if he wanted to revise his opinion.
I guess you were mistaken? Looks like the OP knew more about each roster. SC is the new standard in WBB!
Through six games, I think we can say that the team is better when Cardoso and Boston are not on the court at the same time. Cardoso had some nice minutes in the 2nd half without Boston on the court. And, of course, Boston was Boston. I'm sure we'll seem together again at some point, but I can't imagine Dawn deviating much from what we saw working today.
Sgacock was just pointing there are teams who can beat us and those teams will not roll over and crown us.
I still want to hear a logical reason for this. It seems like they was expecting us to lose and couldn't wait a week to change it.
An example of an illogical reason would be those fans with a chip on their shoulder and an attitude that the world is out to "get" USC. Were that the case, USC would not have been able to run out the clock in W-B last Saturday night.
1. Builds excitement and buzz for the game.... the battle for #1
Welp KK Arnold has chosen UConn in a surprise twist, I thought she was ND bound. Perhaps we'll get a Fulwiley to balance this out.
I would understand if it was consistent but they never do this. I do wonder if the tables were flipped if they would do this with UConn.
UCONN doesn't even play again until Dec 2nd, so it's not like it would have affected the hype for their next game. They would have been #1 the next time they played. But I'll give the AP the benefit of the doubt: not many 1 versus 2 games are played on Monday at noon.
I hope you are right come Tournament time.
Didn't we hold someone to no field goals in a quarter this season? Clemson, I think.
Yeah looks like the 2nd quarter they scored 3 points from free throws.
Not a good analogy, imo. That “call” was payback for 500 that have gone against us…..AND probably more importantly, payback for the game a much-worse call WON for AU earlier this year. And there’s no guarantee it would have mattered. Go Cocks!
How would they look stupid, they do it all the time and the list was going to be 1 and 2 between the two teams anyway. The top teams have been playing each other on Mondays for years now ESPN, including most of our home and home games with UConn.
Shout out to South Florida for forcing UCONN's starters to play deep into the 4th of their game. I think it made a difference in our game.
Lack of depth will take a toll on every team.
Yeah either just do it on Tuesday of keep it consistent like they had for years
Monday afternoons? Delaying the poll release by a couple of hours may be different than delaying it by 12.
I would say at the eoy we will have had the best team in the nation three years running. We got that #1 banner hanging in the rafters at CLA and basically got flat rooked last year with officiating against Stanford. It’s ON at USC in WBB.
We won with the set of circumstances we were handed. On paper it looked like we had the tougher draw. We had a shorter turn around plus 2 of our top players were on the bench in early foul trouble. Will UCONN improve and learn from their mistakes? Of course but so will we. We held them to 3 points in the 4th Q. That's relentless.
Oh I agree. The 4th quarter was pure domination. Let’s hope we can do it again - in January and March if the latter comes to pass.
