Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4187958, member: 10435"] There are several unknowns. One, and I think the biggest one, is going to be Paige's physical condition, her endurance, her timing and her melding with this "new" team. It's not an immediate given despite her greatness. It was a serious injury after all and any surgery has its own set of new obstacles to overcome. Two, are the seniors really hearing the midnight bell sounding? Was the Creighton game just a game or a manifestation of leadership and determination and above all else, guts, the kind needed to win close, tough games. Third, can we purposefully get the ball to the right people in the right positions to score when we need it in the Big Dance? There are so many scoring options once Paige comes back that passing to the open or better positioned player becomes a lot less difficult. Fourth, how do CD and AZZi play in the Big Dance? Like freshmen or like CD and Azzi? Finally, will the defense be like it was in the first quarter against Creighton or the third quarter? My take on all of this? Things finally break our way. We have had so much adversity that we were forced to overcome already, that we have become a lot more tougher mentally than before and with Paige back, the team makes a quantum leap in talent.
