Message: [QUOTE="The CDR-Ret, post: 5248620, member: 10751"] I think Betts was used to beating double & triple teams during the season, and being able to shove her way through without giving up an offensive foul, but was collecting "& ones" even though she was not so sharp at converting the free throw. Betts is very good at keeping the ball up above her head and scoring from inside 4 feet, but she was not aware that Jana was going to be able to mix it up by jumping to tip the incoming pass, and then be an immovable object as a redshirt Freshman. While fasting the previous weekend, Jana was not as fast or able to hang onto the ball after rebounds. If Betts only watched the previous weekend film, Jana was completely different in person for last night's game. I also think Coach Close (also did not watch film other than last weekend's) was not able to help her team to adjust to the "fully fueled" and focused Jana who wore Betts down, which also made the job easier for ICE, Aubrey, and Sarah in the second half. I believe 22+ minutes was the longest that Jana was on the court in the post-season, and I expect good things from Jana tomorrow to show Geno that she can be trusted to be consistent to start next year correctly, and may be part of the "Big 3" for next year (at least alternating into the "Big 3" results on a continuing basis). Jana's positive & consistent performances next year will also allow Gandy to ease into the rotation next year. Maybe Jana can get Paige to be her "Chef" for early morning breakfasts next year... :cool::D:cool: Go Huskies!!! Win #12 tomorrow!!! [/QUOTE]
