Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4429942, member: 6927"] I couldn't agree more. UConn will be a much better team if we can can figure out a way to win big games without relying on Azzi to score 30+. Many Boneyarders were, shall way say, heavily invested in Bueckers winning NPOY her freshman year. And she won it — hip hip hooray! But then we lost to a team we were supposed to beat. I'm sure Paige would agree that the loss wasn't more palatable because of her individual bling. I'm thrilled Azzi is staking her rightful claim to star status, but our team's prospects will be immensely served by having multiple players capable of going for 15-20 in big games. If we have Azzi averaging 25 and no one else over 12, IMHO this is not a healthy formula. It's no coincidence that virtually all of the greatest UConn teams had a lot of balance, and 30-point games for a single player have been rare exceptions. Even Taurasi when she was carrying the team in 03 and 04 wasn't scoring a ton of points. [/QUOTE]
