Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 4218577, member: 15"] Evina coming off the bench reminds me of the 2012-2013 season. Remember late in the season when Bria Hartley agreed to come off the bench rather than start? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ctpost.com/uconn/article/Hartley-thrives-in-new-role-off-UConn-bench-4407607.php[/URL] [I]UConn coach [URL='https://www.ctpost.com/search/?action=search&channel=uconn&inlineLink=1&searchindex=solr&query=%22Geno+Auriemma%22']Geno Auriemma[/URL] wasn't sure how this decision would work out. He was going to remove junior [URL='https://www.ctpost.com/search/?action=search&channel=uconn&inlineLink=1&searchindex=solr&query=%22Bria+Hartley%22']Bria Hartley[/URL] from the starting lineup in favor of senior [URL='https://www.ctpost.com/search/?action=search&channel=uconn&inlineLink=1&searchindex=solr&query=%22Caroline+Doty%22']Caroline Doty[/URL]. Hartley, an All-America selection as a sophomore, started 100 of the first 108 games in her career. But rather than reject the sudden change in role, Hartley, who has been inconsistent this season, has embraced it and has had a significant impact as the Huskies have reached the Final Four for an NCAA-record sixth straight season. "Every decision you make, you make it with your fingers crossed and you hope that it works," Auriemma said. "This particular decision, it was, `Hey Bria, we need some energy coming off the bench. We need some scoring. We need to change the way the game is played.' You don't know whether Bria is going to pout a little bit and feel sorry for herself and not be sure. But she's come out and done exactly what we want her to do."[/I] [/QUOTE]
