Message: [QUOTE="packwrap, post: 5179926, member: 13341"] I'll wait til after TN and SC to really judge where UConn is, but we always only have to win 1 game against a good team in round of 8 to make a final 4, and have been reasonsbly persistent in doing that over the past 20 years, even with some flawed and injured teams. I think our frontcourt against the top 7 teams will now be Aubrey/Morgan at #4 and Sarah at #5. Note: vs Creighton Geno used Paige/Azzi at #4 and Sarah at #5 for a lot of minutes. I just assume Jana and Ice will be reserves due turnovers, slow footed defense, lack of rebounding, and poor outside shooting. They will keep developing for next year. Tall is good, but tall with bad play can't help us in 2025. Still, with small frontcourts Geno has had success defending Griner, Boston, Cardoso, Wilson and McCowan and I trust he will have a plan to deal with Betts, Booker, Westbeld, Iriafen, Edwards, Morrow etc. Most likely just pack in the paint, and make opponents win with outside shooting like tiny Iowa did to Boston/Cardoso and SC in 2023. We still have 2+ months til the elite 8 game. Plenty of time for Azzi and Aubrey to be game ready and for Kaitlyn, KK and Ash to up their scoring. I still like our chances. [/QUOTE]
