Baylor Questions

I've despised the woman for about forty years now. We go way back to her days playing high school ball in rural Louisiana. Once a screeching, all for one, one for herself prima donna, always a, well, don't get me started.

and she backed it up... as she has done as a coach

Love to hear about that - what would it take to get you started?

Geno has trained the team from day one and uses his "secret formula" to prepare them for the last three games of the tourney. Part of that system is --every starter could go 40 minutes. Yes, Geno has stated that he would play his starters for 40 each and Stewie would take every shot if that was necessary to win. Let's start with that premise.
Nevertheless, Gabby will be the designated relief player and "starter in disguise." Gabby will come in for whomever is not producing at Geno's expectations. My guess is Lou first. Then probably Nurse (who would be playing like a whirlwind as usual.) Lou pops over to the two guard when Nurse is out. Finally, maybe Tuck gets a quick rest if necessary. Gabby is the super sub who can come in for any of those three. If those 3 starters really needed some rest then Gabby could give them 10 minutes each. That would give UConn 4 players with 30 minutes each. We don't have to think about Stewie or Mo because they are going the full 40 minutes in the last three games.
Of course, if any other situation pops up then Collier could cover for a short time and Chong could pop in too. Don't see anyone else doing Crunch Time. Would not surprise me in the least if Geno uses the 6 man rotation for last three games.
A side note - Baylor's bigs are slow. Yes, they rotate when they get tired. In reality, they get tired after 5 minutes in the beginning, after three minutes in the middle and after a minute at the end. As a track coach I know how the "point of diminishing returns" works when one gets tired. With the bigs, it can get ugly very fast!! One more point, when their energy is depleted---the energy usually does not come back for the bigs. Just sayin!
Geno probably thinks---I have the best team (5 players on the floor) why not play them all game. For some reason, this still perplexes most coaches.

Stop making so much sense. UConn may actually only be leading by 10 at the half. Then when KLS gets going in the second Baylor fans will be looking for the referee to stop the contest. And yes, with their tongues hanging out.

Baylor are studs with a competent, experienced coach. They have an AA small forward, a deep and huge frontcourt and a 1st class class (do-it-all) backcourt who can pass, shoot and score.

I feel confident in UConn because MoJeff/Stewart talent and championship experience.

They have a huge YOUNG front court that will be shredded by Stewie, Morgan and KLS. Mulkey has hid them behing a creampuff scedule. Can't wait for that matchup !

Get back to us when Kim actually schedules (and beats) some real competition! so far, all I hear is big talk. If you (or anyone) thinks uconn is finished because Stewie is gone next year is in for a very big surprise!

Stewie...and Jefferson...and Tuck.

We will also have our thumbs in our ears chanting "nanny nanny boo boo."
