So then I guess Liv can't be trusted in the same type situations. It is a big hope that both Dorka and Liv improve on FT's. Even the elite teams have weaknesses, if our weakness is free throw shooting by our 2 bigs we will survive, and thrive.
And every time they get to the line, the closer a competitor comes to sitting.
Expect a boat load of icing, what's your favorite?
I’m a big fan of buttercream icing.
I don’t think I demeaning Liv by pointing out that her development has been disappointing. If that were the case them surely you would have to include Geno in the demeaning because he’s pointed out that Liv is in for a
Really? Your post strikes me as a sarcastic criticism of Liv for not making 1st team all-conference. How does that have anything to do with her development as a player. UConn has had many players who never made 1st team all conference, and they were very good nonetheless.
Yea Liv could really really use a quality back! Perhaps a player that was 2X first team all Big 10 especially considering Liv was not even 1st team after playing three full seasons in the Big East and the American.
Keep crying wolf about me demeaning players and ignoring the obvious if you must. This thread is about Dorka. If Liv had developed as projected, a BY thread about Dorka would not be necessary. Clear enough?
Who exactly projected Liv’s development? You? It amazes me that someone on a fan forum, who thinks he knows something about basketball, has the audacity to sit in judgment on a player of Liv’s ability.
I appreciate all the young ladies who play for UConn, win or lose. Liv owes nothing to me or any other fan. Whether she is satisfied with her play is all that really matters in the end.
Exactly.
So I just want to point out that you’re commenting on your own post……not that there’s anything wrong with that…….
The depth of you denial is astounding. It was not me it was the WBCA & the Big East conference. Both of which projected Liv to be among the best centers in the country last season by placing her on the Lisa Leslie watch list and the Big East pre-season first team.
What absurd standards? Liv was one of 5 finalists for the Lisa Leslie award won by Aliyah Boston. She was 2nd team all conference and co-DPOY. I’m perfectly fine with that. I’m sorry she let you down.
I prefer the coconut and coffee icing with German Chocolate cake.
She's a player like KLS, pad the stats against the lesser teams while not getting it done against the better teams. That's not good enough this year.
Yup an absurd standard to expect the UCONN WCBB starting center to be first team in the Big East.
KLS not good enough? 3-time 1st Team AA. Lit up MD in the barf bucket game at MD her sophomore season. Set an all time NCAA record going 10/10 from the arc against a ranked USF team in the AAC tournament final. Scored 28 pts coming back from injury upsetting Louisville in the Elite 8 game her senior year.
I'll make this point one more time. I have no problem with your belief that Dorka will start this coming season. But your obsession with tearing down Liv to make your point is immature and serves no useful purpose. Liv had a fine season and she will have an even better season this coming year....and she will be the starting center for UConn.
No, neither the BE or the American have such a limitation.
I'm not sure what would cause you to doubt the validity because it is BE coaches voting. Are you also doubting the validiy of Paige being named Conference player of the year?
Was Olivia on that Top 30 list?
