I want to start off with I love Meg Culmo - love her demeanor / style of how she calls the game. So much I love about her. And look forward to hearing her for many more years to come. Now with that said . . .
I think she is WRONG. IMO she is looking at the game with a way-too-much post bias. The same with Rebecca. Rebecca had mentioned after watching Maryland play UCONN that the new formula was to pound UCONN with a big center. - ie Coates. For me I love to see UCONN push pace. I love wing play and guard play. I like to see bigs able to pass the ball. Thus when I hear Meg and Rebecca - sometimes I disagree with them completely because of my wing/guard bias vs their post bias.
The game vs Cinci imo too often Meg complained about quick shots. I was thinking it was more their defense. Geno said so at halftime. I think Meg's bias of preferring post play aggravated her a bit so she overlooked the overall sub-par defense. She mostly spoke of "quick shots" and yet they had 25 points in 1st qtr.
IMO the shots taken overall are NOT bad shots. Taking quick 3's is NOT bad as often as Meg says. I love the style of playing at a quick pace. Interested if others agree or disagree. I want UCONN pushing the ball - and yes I do want them taking quick 3's at times. If you are playing fast pace - shouldn't you take some quick 3's? With 2:25 left UCONN took 3 quick shots and two were 3's they went in. Not one word about a quick shot. When Stewie hit a 3 in that time period, it was one pass and then her shot. Meg asked "you can't leave Stewart that wide open." -- --- I agree!! That's the point sometimes why they are talking quick 3's. They ARE wide open and also trying to push pace. In order to push pace not every time are you going to make "5" passes. Sometimes it will be one or two passes and then a 3. I get the feeling she is going to beat the drum of quick shot 3 is bad for a long time now that KML is gone and the super, super super, supreme shooting may not be there. When she does this- if I think the UCONN shooters are capable- I'm gonna keep saying MEG IS WRONG.
What do others think? I'm not saying all quick shots are good. But it seems Meg is focused on the quick shot too much - as this past game- the main issue was the defense and she totally overlooked it in favor of quick shots. Push pace!! Push pace!! Let the kids play!! It's okay early to take some quick 3 point shots with one or two passes! I love you Meg- you're great!!! But in this case as to how UCONN takes 3's . . .
