Lauren didn’t really get burned on switches, it was more Dugalic.
Funny thing, we switch so much that there were multiple occasions where Lauren had picked up a guard on a switch, they screened Lauren and Dugalic picked up the guard. We switch a lot.
Lauren is so good on D. Earlier in the season I talked about Strong (UConn) doesn’t post up a lot. She sets up at the top of the key a lot. The way Betts is playing I wonder if maybe we shouldn’t put Lauren in strong at the top of the key? I think she’d do better than Dugalic or Jacquez, but you gotta be worried about her picking up fouls there.
