Message: [QUOTE="Dokey, post: 4111123, member: 9636"] The time to get the bench experience can come in the gimme games in Big Easy games. While you want to see your starters plus 6th woman improve as a unit, you still have to make sure you are prepared for foul troubles or injuries. After the SC game, I watched my other team, Colorado, blow out Samford. The box score will show CU star Mya scored only 11 points but Mya was given a rest as JR Payne played her bench extensively. The result was players I admit I didn’t even know were on the team played extremely well, gaining invaluable game experience, especially in sinking threes and maintaining the team’s strong defense. A similar approach by UConn down the road that will pay dividends, especially with potential stars such as Azzi and Caroline. Stanford frequently relied on a ten person rotation. If you’ve got ‘em, smoke ‘em. [/QUOTE]
