Message: [QUOTE="ABCDFE, post: 3392936, member: 9410"] My thoughts: [LIST] [*]we were in the game halfway through the 4th quarter with no construbution other than from 3 players. Our best post player didn’t play much and our second best defender (Aubrey) didn’t play much in the second half. There is much for Geno to use here for building up this team for March. [*]CW and MW looked tired in 4th because outside of crystal no one could be counted on to create offense. Kyla needs to take some more shots instead of telegraphing her picks and passing. She missed, but so what, you need to keep shooting because they were giving her room and she’s a good shooter. Overall she Gabe what I expected which was good effort but good effort won’t help this team win against teams like Baylor. [*]Aubrey was ok but you could see her athleticism when battling for rebounds, but it’s her other areas where she needs to develop so that Geno can trust her in crunch time. Anna is solid but in these type of games the defense limits her effectiveness. [*]Baylor is a legitimate team with a healthy Cox so nothing to be ashamed of for UConn tnite and I would put Oregon 1a and Baylor 1b as favorites for NC [*]Lastly I really think Geno decided to play with a lesser talented team on the court tnite (Irwin and makarat) in the second half because he wants to use this as a teaching moment for Liv. You’ve gotta play sound basketball and not be overwhelmed by the moment. I believe we will see a better and improved and motivated UConn team going forward. Whether that’s good enough for a final four we shall see, but I like this team and I’m excited about the potential of all the pieces come together. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
