Message: [QUOTE="#12in21, post: 4177455, member: 10763"] I am excited to see us, hopefully, return to a much more uptempo offense. With no guard subs available we had to play a slower paced offense for several games. As the chemistry builds between a primary group of Nika, Christyn, Caroline, Azzi, Olivia and Dorka over a few games, I expect movement without the ball, crisper passing, faster ball movement finding the open shooter, fewer turnovers and better percentage of made first shots to be the result. We should also be able to play a more aggressive pressuring defense as well. Westbrook and Edwards will hopefully benefit as well feeling more comfortable with that pace coming in and impacting the games. The three upcoming Big East games should give us time to get into a solid rhythm and Tennessee will face a UCONN team that will look more like what we will look like in March as opposed to January. Paige will slide seamlessly into this more uptempo style of play, making it even better. Not taking anything away from any other players, Azzi being back and being the player everyone hoped she would be was what was needed to allow the team to make this needed transition. [/QUOTE]
