They are not really carbon copies other than that they are quick and short. Evens is a better three point shooter, but McDonald is superior in other areas. Defense especially. Mc Donald is a lock down defender. She is one of few short players who is capable of locking down much taller players in...

Arizona has a really good defense. It bothered Stanford just as it did UConn. Stanford also knew McDonald very well and cut hof her favorite spots. It was good defends from both teams that contributed to their bad shooting. Both Stanford and UConn are good offensive teams but Arizona made them...

As the other poster mentioned it is not 1995 anymore- the game has moved on and the players are different. Still there is another reason as well and probably even more relevant. Pats was a system coach and her style suited her forcefull personality. Her assistents lacked the personality that...

Saw her play alot in high school. I suspect she was burned out before she got to Baylor where she was transitioning from a post player to the perimeter. Her future is at a guard position she has all the skills but just needs to play the position which was not available at Baylor. She was...

Williams was never the player that she was made out to be. She is an opportunist who takes advantage of what the defense gives her. She is somewhat of a streak shooter and that is where her inconsistencies lie. She does get to play in a relatively weak conference so she can use her physical...

First let me assure you that I am not the person you think I am. I have never posted under a different moniker. It has been the same for my entire time on line. I also have no aspirations to be a sports writere. Frankly i do not have the talent to express my self verbally consistantly. I also...

You certainly can if you are as talented as CP. Even at a lesser effort she is still better than most players playing at their best. I never said she was not talented. This last "Bubble" season she showed what she is and was always capable of producing for an entire season. When I initially...

That would be someone who has followed and seen most of the Sparks game for years. LA is now in rebuilding mode. They lost two of their BIG THREE. They would have traded Parker sooner but the GM was told she was not allowed to trade her. The problem was that she had entirely too much pull on...

This is a real plus for LA. Candice is an amazing player when she gives the effort, but excluding the last season when she had her daughter in camp she seldom gave effort. In Chicago because it is a new team, she will try to prove herself. In LA she would have resorted back to her previous...

The advantage UConn has being in the Big East and in the AAC is that the number of teams they face each year who were good enough to beat them on any given day was very small. Usually it was only when they planed out of conference. A team does not have to be better than you to win. They just...

If you are concerned with Stanford, then Oregon should also concern you. They are at Stanfords level but they had two subpar games in a row from Sabally and poor shooting from Boly and Mikesell. They are as deep and talented as Stanford but just younger. They were also missing Prince ( but who...

What people often forget is that a taller player can play off of a shorter player and still challenge their shots. It is all a matter of proper positioning. The taller defender just needs to judge the optimum space they need to be able to challenge the shot and defend the drive. Destiny Slocum...

Tenn should definitely be ranked. I expected them to win against Arkansas who I thought was over rated due to their win against an over rated Baylor. I think this game has shown that Tenn is actually better than Baylor. Arkansas is a very difficult team to gage other teams against because they...

Just because they put up big offensive numbers does not mean Oregon is a run and gun team. They are just very efficient at scoring. This was generally because Sabrina, along with others on that team, made good decisions. They actually passed the ball to the best option available. If they put it...

The part of the post you were responding to was in reference to the second half of the Oregon - USA game not their game against Baylor. In the USA game, she scored 5pts in the first half and went off for 25 in the second. My point being that game situations are variable. In this case what...
