I don't understand how some BYers can't grasp the fact that last year for most of the year UCONN had 70+ potential points sitting on the bench unable to play!
And already this season we have approximately Azzi, 20 to 25 points; Caroline, 15 to 20 points; Ayanna, 8 to 12 points; Jana, 10 to 14 points; sitting on the bench that's 53 points on the low side and 71 points on the high side not able to play a second of game time!
It's tough to win when you are denied that many possible points!
It's like a boxer fighting with his power hand tied behind his back!;
It takes us from champion caliber to just being barely competitive! And with LSU, SoCar, ND, Utah, NoCar, NoCar St, TN, UCLA, TX, Stanford, Louisville, Iowa, Ohio State, Maryland, and others as competition for the National Championship even down 5 to 10 points eliminates UCONN from being elite!
Face the facts that injuries alone, not coaching, not our bigs, our bench, our recruiting tendencies, our strength and conditioning are killing us!
You can't blame our 18 to 22 year old young ladies on being shell-shocked, "why is this keep happening to us?"
