Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5202742, member: 7511"] Some thoughts on the Butler game: [LIST] [*]UConn’s win on the road today puts the Huskies on a “glide path” into the postseason, with the probable scenario that their next 7 games will all be played in the state of CT, on familiar courts, in front of loud supportive fans, with little or no travel involved. [*]From the cheering of the crowd, it sounded as if both Ash & KK had a few hundred friends and family at the game. [*]The BE awards an annual [B]Sixth Woman of the Year[/B] award. I am sure there are a lot of deserving candidates. But for my money, Ashlynn is as good a player off the bench as I have seen anywhere in the conference this season. [*]UConn’s offense is streaky at times, but they have really ramped up their defense since the TN game, and you got to believe that if the Huskies can earn #12 this season, relentless defensive pressure will be critical to their effort. The Huskies played great defense in the 1st half. A soft zone and a little lack of focus in the 3rd qtr allowed Butler to make it respectable. But the old adage that [B]DEFENSE TRAVELS [/B]needs to carry UConn once they get to the Big Dance. [*]Great to see KK knock down a 3 today. It is so important for KK to make an occasional 3-pt shot as we get closer to the Big Dance. [*]I sure hope Geno yelled at Azzi at halftime after she scored 2 points on 1/1 shooting. :confused: She did manage to put up 5-2nd half shots, making 4 of them. [*]Congratulations to Paige on moving past a trio of legends (Kerry, KML & Nykesha) into 6th place on UConn’s all-time scoring list. She has a little work to do to make it into the top 5, but it’s certainly not out of the question. [*][B]CAROLINE!!!!!!! :):):):):):):):)[/B] [*]Next up, Marquette at XL.
