Message: [QUOTE="jdote33, post: 4969547, member: 11252"] I was watching the first half of the nc state game early this year. Wow, we really were going to be a teammm. I had only really remembered the loss, that it was Azzis last game, and that Paige kinda went off. I also remember Nika being quite fired up after the loss, saying we have no more excuses, as the time was finally healthy...geez, what was about to follow. Anyways we played 9 within the first 16 minutes and that's not including Ashlyn (there was an article last month about how Ashlyn was emotional after that game as her parents came to watch her), Q was super ready. Azzi missed a ton of open looks but they were super quality shots. Caroline started, she missed a couple open looks but she took the right shots, and made some decent plays. In some ways the start of the game kinda reminded me of the Iowa game in that we got off to a quick start but let them creep back in the game. But in the Iowa game it was turnovers. In this first half it's just missing open ones. Nika was pretty amazing to start the game. In any event, it does make me hopeful that Geno will play a bunch of players if they are healthy. It also made me think he does like to have 4 out and 1 big. AE had a ton of space that game (and honestly throughout the season), to either catch and shoot or drive. I think Jana will be phenomenal in that role. [/QUOTE]
