Coach CD on Dorka; Nika on state of the team

[Bone Dog]

Whoever that tweeter is, I think they were just reacting to what they see in that video clip: Dorka catches the ball with her thumb-hand and goes right and shoots with it. And they’re not delusional, even if they’re being a little over-optimistic

Well, I guess we will find out in about 4.5 hours.

Who is this UConnWBBy90? Someone that has official information or someone making a conclusion based on a video that says that the coaching staff will make a decision based on how her thumb feels today/tonight.

This person is just a random fan on Twitter w/no inside knowledge on anything but considers her/himself to be a UConn expert. Take her tweets with a huge grain of salt.

The current team (without Azzi) will have problems scoring 80 points against a top opponent so to win, they will need to hold opponents to 50-60 points...

........and make each trip down to their half of the court count. Limit the turnovers. Take good shots. Of course not all of your shots are going to go in, but take good shots, and don't force anything. Don't give the game away. Make the other team beat you. Don't beat yourself. For every stop you make on defense, that's one less basket you'll need on offense.

If you've been in the yard for awhile, you know the posters who have credibility and can be trusted, and those you can't.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Dorka gets a few spot minutes to help get her back into game shape but I don’t expect a start or long minutes

Can't tell you how much this reminds me of the movie "Remember the Titans"... 4th quarter, Virginia State Football Championship Game. Time for 1 more play, Titans trailing 10 - 7. Time out. Assistant Coach convinces Head Coach, Coach Boone, that he needs a play that the other team won't expect. Coach Boone calls for the kid who started the season at QB, but broke his hand in the 3rd or 4th game.. the kid is called "Rev"... Coach Boone says, "Rev, are you ready to run?".. Rev answers " Yes Sir". Coach Boone comes up with a play on the spot... Rev lines up wide left as if he is going deep for a pass. The opposition quickly scrambles to adjust the defense. But it's not a pass...Rev does a Reverse and takes a handoff from the QB, running right. With the QB as his "escort", along with other blockers, Rev goes some 75 yards for the touchdown as time expires...for the win.

So, tonight... at a time when the game is close... Geno calls out "Dorka!", she jumps up off the bench and hustles over to Geno... He says " You ready to play?" Dorka says "Yes Sir!" And she enters the game, and its it's like she never sat out. She makes shots, blocks, great passes...and UCONN pulls away for an easy win.

GO HISKIES!!!
