Do you think it is possible CW has failed to move on from her high school role? Where she was in control of the ball and dictated the action. Perhaps this UCONN "team ball share the ball" style is a problem for her?
Meg and Ania will be a team leaders next year. Already Ania is giving diections to upper classmen on the court.
How many women's fantasy basketball leagues do you participate in?
If she isn't starting then you better have Edwards first off the bench with many minutes. This team needs another tall post on the floor in order to win the NCAA championship. Olivia by herself will not be the answer.
For starters, she had 1 rebound, no assists, no steals and no blocks against Temple in 37 minutes. I think that speaks for itself. I'm not saying she can't do it, I'm saying she wasn't doing it.
She is better today. More engaged. 1 rebound, 0 assists, 1 block, 1 steal at half. She is moving a lot more. I think we will see even more in the second half because of the movement.
I went to that game with DannyKUConn, remember telling her mother after the game that a Christyn won it for us, and then thanking CW herself. She has it in her. I think it’s just taken a long time for her to digest the whole system and learn to play in it. Looking forward to her thinking less and playing more naturally next year. And hopefully still this year, as coach simplifies things further for the tourney.
I watch williams and at times she seems lost on the court. It makes me wonder if she is truly happy at UConn. She looked like a first team all American against Notre Dame last year but has been on a very bumpy road since. She certainly hasn’t lived up to her high school billing.
What about her game do you absolutely love?
Going out on a limb here, but isn't it 2? We could ask Molly. She is a math major.
Yes, very true, but it is important to remember that she is the first one to say that she is not happy with her game this year. As she said yesterday after the game, she has to be more "engaged" in the game which is all that several of us have been saying. She was a lot better at it yesterday. We can't just have her as a scorer, it's not enough this year because we are a smaller, less physical team that is not deep. She also had the "light go on" about defense into offense so I think she is in the best place she has been all season right now. She is a great player and the posts about her not starting this year or next are way off the mark. I though Meg wasn't "engaged" last year either as a whole but look at the difference one year has made. CW is a very self-possessed young woman who is a very accurate self-analyzer. Having an off year and averaging almost 15 a game and making first team all AAC tells you what the upside is. She just had to adjust a lot this year and is doing it much better at it now than before.
Winner winner chicken dinner!!!!
She looked pretty happy tonight though.
You really think a freshman is going to start over a junior? Man please
With that, I completely agree with you.
Yep, I'll stick with the truth.
Exactly.
