Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4560523, member: 73"] Well here we are again in the Finals of the BET. A few days ago many doubted we would get there. Rightfully so because of the way we were playing. We were physically and mentally drained running on fumes. We lacked shooters and had problems scoring but we found a way. The grit determination and fight in us never quit. Now we got our rest, and we got our shooters/scorers back and we are no longer running on fumes we are running on high octane as witnessed by our two blowouts in the first 2 rounds. We are once again a well oiled machine and whats really scary is Azzi and Caroline are not up to speed yet. Be patient as that will take time and we will have time over the next two weeks. We play tonite and next Sunday March 12 is Selection Sunday at 8 pm on ESPN. Then on March 15 & 16 UConn will host the first 2 rounds. That is important because this time gives Azzi and Carolne time to get back up to speed. It will for every other team too but for UConn it gives them two of the most prolific scorers in WCBB. Just their presence has taken UConn from a team who struggled to score 60 pts to a team that would score 75-80 pts against 2 very good teams. With them back, and healthy it gives UConn 3 scorers who can create their own shots and shooters from deep in Lou Azzi and Caroline. Defenses will Not be able to handle all three of them. Then you add Griff Dorka and Aaliyah and theyve got their hands full. UConn is now a legit FF team. They have Defense, scorers/shooters, height and they can all create their own shot. No more doubling down low or on the shooters because you cant leave anybody open even for a second. This is gonna be a fun ride the next couple of weeks. UConn will be piquing at the right time. I know other teams have the same opportunity but no team has what UConn has. No other team is playing like UConn is playing. Many teams feel they are on a mission. UConns mission is overwhelming BB and that is something no other team can claim. Other teams have go to players who can score in critical situations but UConn has Azzi Fudd and Azzi Fudd is the means to the end. [/QUOTE]
