ha ha. THAT is the very thing i'm worried about ... if she thinks about it excessively -- maybe even a bit -- it's an indication it's an issue in her mind. hope her pals and counselors can help her out. remember, azzi is a self-described over-thinker.

i hope that will continue to be the case for her last year. it obviously has been a problem in the past. please don't make it a jinx to talk of it.

cohesion plays a huge part too. ideally, you have a leader(s) to achieve that. but it could come from the team building uconn coaching is so good at. ... the uconn way, you might say.

isn't the entire 15-woman roster a possible winner -- in each game? i think it's premature at this point to be selecting favorites. i may be wrong of course. i hope all get the honor of putting on a baddass performance. it could be done in less than a minute and i hope that such BA showings are...

i like your thinking. she also could follow maya's path: take on a tough mission that serves the greater society. ... some would say coaching bball would be a major shortchanging of her potential.

i know. ... but whadya make of my basic point: fans would enjoy seeing the youngsters try to improve their game in the coming blowouts rather than a 'big 3" obliterating inferior teams -- which, face it, gets boring.

i imagine their legs can get into top condition in practices and workouts throughout the year. :)

Lordy, lordy, as a huskies fan, that is a horrible prospect! why would geno have a trio of stars (assuming serah fits in) on the hardwood for 3/4 of each game when most of the schedule won't be a challenge AND there are a dozen exciting players who should be able to contribute everything the...

sure sounds familar ... paige lovin' being a 'facilitator' even when it hurts the team's odds of winning.

what fascinates me is the people who are all for the owners (who can do whatever they want, because they have the power, even if they don't use it well, and $) and against the players (the peons whose only power is the ability to quit and face the consequences). what in hell is that dynamic...

"Paige believes everything that you, Azzi, says." "No, she spins everything she says. She could convince herself that the earth is flat." that's admirable. i don't know paige, but it indicates she has a very nimble intellect that gravitates to humor/whimsey, and she is comfortable with...

if players foul out in droves it would stop. apparently, stopping is frowned upon. why? give your theory ... it might ignite a brawl.

i'd bet that is why she's starting. she should do well in storrs.

my vote is arike & mccowan. they add little to victory. and they have had years to prove otherwise.
