Message: [QUOTE="Littlemin, post: 3448855, member: 10363"] D1 basketball is not high school, freshman at this level are not the seniors they were the year before. Players are not robots, there are adjustments, many mental, as you go up the food chain. Physically, Griffin is adjusting to a completely different style of play than high school, as well as a completely different role. One of the biggest adjustments she has had to make is that in high school, she could never take a bad shot, here she is expected to “defer” for want of a better term. That is an incredibly difficult adjustment, a completely different on the court mind set which I am sure has her “thinking”, which can be a killer. Add in the extra pressure of having to step in and contribute immediately at UCONN and under the circumstances I think she has played quite well. In general terms the same applies to Makurat. [/QUOTE]
