Here's the thing. And it's not a mystery, but what is the mystery is why other teams just don't try to emulate it. UCONN actually runs offense. I'm astounded by the number of top 10 teams who spend almost the entire shot clock with 1 player dribbling the ball around the perimeter. It makes zero sense to me, but even top 4 team Maryland spent much of every shot clock with the ball in their guards' hands just poking around the perimeter. My point is that some of those layups that these teams miss are contested.
There's a reason why Morgan shoots something like 65% from the field - UCONN's offense works to get players open and when they find her that way, she has a wide open layup. There's also a reason each of the UCONN starters shoot over 50%, and it has NOTHING to do with the relative "strength" of the AAC. In fact, UCONN's top 6 scorers (Williams is #6) all shoot over 50%. It's just how our offense is designed...
