Azzi 3s, pt deux

[Vowelguy]

No, PLEASE DONT start a discussion of shot mechanics.

But this seems a tad concerning. It's gone beyond "just one or two games." Also, up and down to average out is not what you want from a key shooter.
Maybe some fatigue?

It isn't just her 3 point shot. She's missing mid range and even layups. I'm sure if the horde were to ask Geno he would say it's just a slump. I can't imagine fatigue. The way she defends - it's elite. She doesn't get enough credit for her defense...

 

[PacoSwede]

slump ... fatigue? regardless, the trend undermines her draft & AA & Huskies of Honor hopes. she better rectify this.

i suspect her confidence/overthinking may be an obstacle.

 

[AzzisBraids]

She has been under the weather a bit, I suspect she'll bounce back but she was visibly sick last night and even Geno mentioned she wasn't 100%. When she missed that free throw, I knew it was an off night. She typically plays very well against Tennessee and if she doesn't then we need to look at that again but I suspect she'll have another breakout game against them.

It is flu season and the amount of fan interaction through autographs, handshakes and hugs. -- Anybody would be picking up germs and viruses. Hopefully she can get some rest between now and Sunday.

She has been under the weather a bit,

ok but its not one game

 

[WBBZen]

The stat watching on Azzi is a little tiresome I'm not gonna lie. She's had one bad game.

1/15 - 14 PT 43% FG
1/19 - 15 PT 54% FG
1/22 - 19 PT 42% FG
1/24 - 14 PT 63% FG
1/28 - 6 PT 17% FG

Is her three ball not falling as it has been? Yes. I get everyone is used to steady efficient Azzi who has defined herself with her 3pt shot, but please let's have some perspective.

Yea…that was obvious, especially last game. Not worried one bit.

ok but its not one game

UConn has had 4 games in 10 days

Jan 19 - Notre Dame
Jan 22 - Georgetown
Jan 24th - Seton Hall
Jan 29th - Xavier

She's not feeling well, she's human and she'll bounce back.

If you've watched her podcast, it has appeared she's been fighting a cold at a minimum for a couple of weeks.
