Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5180169, member: 12088"] I think this is accurate. I don’t know if it will be enough to overtake SC or UCLA, but UConn is very likely to improve more than they will. In fact, I suspect UCLA peaked around the end of December and SC peaked about two weeks ago. The challenge for each of them is to sustain this current peak during the tougher conference schedules ahead. I have a bit more confidence in Dawn’s ability to keep her team motivated. She has the advantage of a tradition and team culture she’s built over almost two decades to inspire her kids. Cori is more making it up as she goes. Something similar is likely true for USC as well. They may have peaked in the first half of their game against us and have been moving more or less sideways ever since. Texas appears to be peaking right now, but they could get even better. LSU appears to be already declining, judging from the last few games. I wonder if Kim can turn it around. For UConn, by contrast, in addition to several rookies who are clearly still growing their games, even the main rotation players are still fitting their games to each other and to Geno’s system. As good as Sarah already is, I don’t think we’ve seen everything this season holds in store for her. I expect to see a couple of 30 point games as well as even more defensive mastery. Azzi also seems to be working to bring her full arsenal together. Ash KK and Kaitlyn also are likely to have more to show us in the coming couple months. Does Ash have a 30 point game in her? And I haven’t said anything about Aubrey yet, who may or may not return to form. And here’s the most uncanny possibility: even Paige may still have another level to take her game to. Picture that! It’s a hallmark of Geno’s teams that they look much different in March than they did in January. Only time will tell if this difference will be enough this season. [/QUOTE]
