Message: [QUOTE="Rb335, post: 3323806, member: 2685"] Thoughts: 1. Crystal looked to be the leader early and seemed to press as a result. Some interesting shot choices and turnovers. Fully confident that this will disappear when everyone gets a better idea of their roles. 2.Williams and Walker are both legitimate AA contenders this season. I really believe Williams is our best player and won’t be surprised to see her take over a lot of games this year. 3.ONO looked much improved. Her passing from the high post impressed me and should give a dimension to the offense that we haven’t really seen since Dolson/Stewart. 4.If Westbrook is on the bench this year, the fifth player is going to be our biggest question mark. I though Ana had some bright moments and created a few scoring opportunities for others. Aubrey was playing hot potato in the first half but had good defensive moments. I will not evaluate them based on one game, but someone will have to step up this season as the UConn system only works well when all 5 players are capable of scoring. It was game one after graduating two of the best to play at UConn. Everything will be OK and I think this team will look vastly different in 4 weeks. For me, it’s fun to watch a group grow and get better. I’m looking forward to it. [/QUOTE]
