Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 2097748, member: 7171"] I think that is correct. We know from reliable sources, e.g., her mother, that Lou is like that. Put a challenge in front of her and she accepts it. Doubt her and she will do everything she can to show you that you are wrong. Geno witnessed one of the great shooting displays ever against USF by Lou. What may have gotten lost in the shuffle is that a day earlier, against UCF, Lou was almost invisible in the second half. Played about 15 minutes, only 3 shot attempts, 0 second half points. Another example, against Tulane at Gampel, Lou scored 32 total in the second and third quarters but 0 in the first quarter. A tendency to drift, but when she is fully engaged in all aspects of the game, as she was against USF, good things obviously happen. Geno is doing his part to be sure she is involved at all times. No such worries when it comes to Napheesa. She is the epitome of the low maintenance player. She just plays, active all the time, multifaceted, constant motion, a coach`s dream. Just wind her up and let her go. Gabby is a little different. An alpha, aggressive, athletic, high energy. She has worked hard on her shooting and it has definitely improved, but it is not where she wants it to be. So, when she misses a few from the line, for example, she had a tendency to get down on herself. We all remember the pep talk Geno gave her while the action was going on, interrupted by a pass to her which I think she then turned into an assist. Geno knows he has to boost her spirits every now and then. They are all different. No one knows that better than Geno. [/QUOTE]
