She does not push the ball, over dribbles favoring left, there were times when we had 3 players down court. I also think Chiney thought she could do it by herself and missed open players to dribble into a 3 rd Uconn player.
The whole player and AA is a crock IMO, I have seen Beebe IMO she would have struggled to get on the floor as a freshman, maybe got a little more than Tess. Uconn knows how to pass the ball, we have stopped passing the ball and let Amber dribble down the clock. Some good no dribble drills should be a must at this point. Our wings are generally good passers, Toni pushes and kicks way more than Amber but she rarely has the ball until things go wrong. Dribbling is overrated and Uconns efficient use of very little dribbling should prove that. Also screens are not being set, watch how Uconn screen and pass, extremely efficient. A couple of starters do need a gut check as far as not playing hard. Maybe we will see a few adjustments in the next few.
I completely agree that we do not pass efficiently and dribble too much. That said, AAs like Taurasi, Bird and Moore got UConn 5 National Championships. Moore and Taurasi beat team single handedly, including Moore taking it to Cardinal in San Antonio F4.
