Yes, way too many plays where she fought for great position only for the taller longer armed UConn players to outjump her.
Part of it is that UConn did a much better job of crashing the boards with multiple bigs
But part was also that Jessica needed to root the bodies behind her back to get more space
This is also where Patterson’s development will really help as she can match the UCOnn bigs athleticism. Thought she gave some nice minutes.
..Jess sometimes seems to get positioned in places that don't do her any good, then having to fight against both the bottom of the board and tall adversaries. Tough team to do that against...Collier and ONO both have long arms (like Bri).
...I also thought Danielle Patterson gave a good 10 minutes. In fact, I would've gone a bit longer with her, particularly against ONO so the two could, in effect, cancel each other out.
