Message: [QUOTE="Ferrarifan, post: 4272147, member: 11976"] On the first question, it isn't just that CD is struggling. She went from not being able to play and contribute to scoring 28 and leading the team and then back to not being able to play again. That isn't normal freshman inconsistency. I have always felt that there is no such thing as luck. The CD we saw carry the team is exactly who she is. So, when THAT kid supposedly can't play again, it is up to the coach to figure out why. If it really is too late this year, I guess they will have to do what they need to do. I am just bummed it hasn't been figured out yet. On your second question, no, not every coach who goes 6 deep is wrong. Many of them really just aren't deep. I think we are, this year. That's the difference. And some coaches that shortened their benches may have been wrong. I can't say unless you provide a specific example. On the third question, yes, the team winning is what matters the most. The question is, do we have a better chance with Nika and CD playing? I concede that the answer may be no. This year is very different from recent UConn teams because we have three (was four) bench players that have had GREAT games this year. My gut tells me they can be the difference between losing and winning. But, again, I will concede that it depends on whether or not those players can be their true selves. [/QUOTE]
