Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4092065, member: 26"] Good post. Just wanted to expand on what you said... In the past, almost every year, there were multiple games where UCONN would have a substantial lead (say 30 points), and in the lats 6 minutes or so, Geno would start with the end of bench subs. The subs would get outscored by a bunch (say 12 or so) and what was an easy 30-point win, ended up an 18 point win. And it happened a LOT. Obviously still a win which is great, but not nearly as dominant on paper. Fast forward to this game. Someone mentioned Ft Hayes State was likely in the 130 or so range if they were to be a Div I team. Certainly better than at least 4-5 teams currently in the Big East. Point being, not top 50 competition, but certainly solid. Anyway, maybe Ft. Hayes ran out of gas, but either way, Q4, we smashed them. Q3, with our starters in, we won 17-15. Q4 mostly with reserves in, we outscored them 32-7. I know there was a lively chat about our bench being a top 10 team (I don't believe they are. MAYBE they would be top 25. MAYBE). Anyway, our bench is really really good. Obviously if Geno puts them all in at the end of the game against a good team, they might lose ground, but against anyone else, we won't see the inability to score or defend that we've often seen in past end of game minutes. BTW how about Piath yesterday - I almost wanted to start a separate thread for her - 6 points and 2 rebounds in just over 4 minutes? Probably the most efficient player of the game. Good for her!!!
