Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4769306, member: 3535"] There should be no problem playing Aubrey at the 4. In Edwards freshman year and Aubrey's soph year UCONN went to the Final Four and there is no reason to believe that they aren't much better now than back then. . So, why can't UCONN split between Edwards, Griffin and Ice in big games? Not every game this year is going to be close as well. So there will be many blowouts. So Ayanna and Amari will have opportunities. Patterson played early last year even vs an elite team like Iowa and NCAA teams such as Texas/NC State/Duke. SO for anyone to assume she is going to automatically turn into a pumpkin if she isn't in the regular rotation is being very "glass-is-half-empty" if someone got into foul trouble. Not to mention UCONN's guard and wing play will be far superior than what they have had in a very, very, very long time. Good luck to 99% of all teams that are going to try to get our bigs in foul trouble then the frontcourt all turn into pumpkins that our super star multiple guards also are pumpkins -- well good luck to them. There's a reason why superstars are superstars. They rarely are pumpkins. And we potentially have 2. For those that want to look negative -- there is a reason why Paige, Azi and Edwards are pretty darn terrific. They don't turn into pumpkins often. Especially as a group. [/QUOTE]
