Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3410319, member: 26"] You make an interesting point. Does having her in make for slow starts even against over-matched teams? Against Tulsa, no one was going to stop the UCONN steamroll, but... UCONN was tied with UCF at the end of the first quarter. Kyla played for 7-8 minutes there. Granted the entire team struggled, but we won because we had a monster 2nd quarter when Kyla was on the bench. Against Memphis we got down 8-2. We were actually down 21-15 at the end of Q1 with Kyla in most of the quarter. But against Houston, we won Q1 25-2. Not sure there is enough evidence one way or the other. I agree against good teams, she will be a liability. But against everyone else, Aubrey, and especially Anna, have thrived coming off the bench. I suspect Geno will continue to start Kyla - but who knows? He surprised me by benching Kyla and Olivia in favor of Anna and Aubrey in the 2nd half vs. Tennessee. Geno made some terrific half time adjustments. Wonder what he said in the locker room!! [/QUOTE]
