Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 4789771, member: 11599"] I would like to say relax. If you recall last season, every game came with the caveat of who will be available or healthy to play. We are only 3 games in, but there is one key difference. Yes, UConn lost Lou & Dorka, however, we have a healthy, seasoned Paige, active and only to get better as the season progresses. Many have made "the sky is falling" posts after the NC St game, but I caution everyone that season isn't won or lost in November. Are there concerns? Yes, but if we see them, Geno & the staff do too. For me, the lack of size and rebounding issues are balanced by having the best player in the country available. I believe the NC St was a wake-up call. Let's remember the preseason hype that UConn will be playing LSU in the 2024 championship game. Could it be that the players let some of it take up residence between their ears? I expect UConn to come out and play with some fire. I look for Azzi to righten herself out and the upperclassmen to redeem themselves after NC St. This will be game 3 of Paige's return and I am happy to see that she looks physically ready for the rest of the season. Now, she needs to take the leadership mantle and lead/play by example. If she does, UConn will right there in the mix at the end of the season. [/QUOTE]
