Frontcourt Strength

[Bone Dog]

That's a good reason to bring in a sub like Amari to help neutralize a superbig.

Maybe so, but judging from last season the first frontcourt subs will likely be Ayanna and Aubrey. And even though she’s untried so far, Ice will see the floor before Amari, and may even start as the season goes on. I share your hope that Amari impresses is all and earns better minutes. But this will be an uphill climb for her. I’ll be pulling for her.

Has Ayanna been cleared to play yet?

All of the answers of who is healthy and who can contribute will be answered soon. The four or five teams that will have 6'5" plus players is one type of team will will have to defend. We lost Jana so we hope that Amari is healthy to help us against those types of centers. The issue for the other teams is who will guard us. Last year Aaliyah drove around Cardoza like she wasn't even there from the key area. So we will create matchup problems with Paige, Azzi,KK, Caroline, Aubrey and Aaliyah for other coaches to ponder.

Instead of being so worried about how UCONN will defend opponent's 6'5" or bigger players let's concentrate on how our opponents will defend OUR players, both front court & back court! We will be a major problem for ALL our opponents to try to stop, Paige, Azzi, Nika, Aubrey, Aaliyah, Caroline, Ice, Ayanna, KK, Qadence, Ashlynn, & others!
We spend too much time, imho, on what our opponent's have and not on the best team in Division I!
UCONN has the potential, if all are healthy, to average close to 90 points per game!

ONLY 90?

ONLY 90?
