Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4270859, member: 3535"] No it's not perplexing. It's perplexing how there is this thought that just because some of you like CD that Geno should be obligated to play her. There's an assumption just because you play her more minutes then the team will automatically win anyway. For example, NC State played Jada Boyd off the bench for quite a few minutes leading up to the end of regulation and she was -4 in the plus / minus category. Maybe if the coach played his starters more then they win in regulation. So we blame the winner for not playing the player we want to see and ignore possibly the team that is playing more of the bench that lost and is going home? As far as watching Paige. Well when we watch Paige like this we go to Final Fours and beat number 3 ranked NC State type teams and last year we beat South Carolina and Baylor. That's bad? Are you suggesting that the team was better when it was led by CD? If not, then why are you complaining about ball movement when UCONN wins? And how could there be lack of ball movement when Azzi and CWill score as much as they did. And in terms of "if Paige didn't hit her shots. . . " What is the relevance of that? If all those losses in Overtime UCONN had in the past - maybe UCONN has 3-5 more titles using the point you are making about Paige. [/QUOTE]
