Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 5186005, member: 1131"] Let me quote a comment on VolNation -- it's the only one that I have seen so far about the UConn game, and it was tacked on to the Missouri game thread (with no apology for thread drift!). The poster said: [I]Connecticut will probably press for 40 minutes. And they ALWAYS have one player who miraculously comes out of nowhere to have the shooting performance of her career.[/I] Of course, the poster is referring to Lou Lopez-Senechal going off for a 3-point barrage in the last game in Knoxville, and perhaps also to Azzi's 7-for-9 3-point shooting performance in Hartford three years ago (?). So it appears that UConn is already bringing out some Cassandra voices on that message board, which is just fine. It's fun to think of who (in a national flag blue uniform) MIGHT have an unexpected great game. I can think of several not-totally-crazy possibilities -- maybe Jana will have 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 blocks? Maybe Ashlynn will have 25 points from all three levels of the court? Maybe Aubrey will guard Talaysia Cooper for 20 minutes, and shut her down before fouling her out? Or, maybe, Qadence will play 15 minutes, score 10 points, get 5 rebounds, and have 4 or 5 steals? Her skill set is perfect for this game and this opponent -- she can answer chaos with chaos, and serve the chaos back to the opponent. Obviously, any good minutes that Aubrey and Qadence can contribute will help to preserve the stamina of the mainstay players in UConn's rotation. [/QUOTE]
