Message: [QUOTE="BlueSkyGLW, post: 4507022, member: 11281"] In the last the last several Big East games, Amari has intrigued me as she seemed to be progressing well under the no-options rotation CD deployed, playing both Amari and Ines a bit more. CD was the one who mentioned Amari was basically out of shape and couldn't keep up with her teammates at the speed UConn wants to play the game. Upon seeing her run alongside Nika on a fastbreak to receive the pass which she finished, I thought Amari was getting in shape. But the Seton Hall game showed some of the things she is did indicated what she could become. For her and Ines, the highlight reel that made ESPN Sports Center Top 10 encapsulated their progress and promise. Amari down, Ines quickly adjusted - first leaning to move back but swiftly changed directions cutting to the basket when she realized a passing lane was open. Amari saw this and delivered the ball. Both quick recognition, reactive plays that will live on in UConn WBB lore. Sure, Geno had to dig at Amari missing her first layup attempt but she wasn't the only one who missed a layup in close quarters and that includes Aaliyah (more than once). Things are looking up for the two.....and I give credit to CD for the way she handled them in prior games....by putting them in early to get into the flow of the game. [/QUOTE]
