I'm a bit disappointed, but not surprised.   This was a tough test right out of the box and they weren't ready.   Paige, Azzi, Caroline, Ice and Aubrey, while all apparently physically healthy, are still a work-in-progress with regaining the confidence to play as they can.   This is to be expected from all they have been through and this will be a struggle thru mid-season.   Each has different scenarios to work thru to catch the mind up to the body so it all works as before.   We all know what they are capable of and what this team will be like when they get there.    That said, the biggest concern was Aaliyah, still having issues like last year, in spite of more maturity and more experience.   Even with Dorka to help last year, she disappeared at times, got too many early fouls, etc., yet on occasion played like an All American.    She needs another big to work with and it has to be Ice.  In spite of her inexperience Geno will have to play her into her potential.   We need that tandem working together to have a chance against some of the tougher teams this year.   Again all of the above will not happen for a while, so we all need to be patient.   And while I am not a patient person (always expecting another undefeated team), that will not be the way this year, so... I will adjust.
