Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4060904, member: 5823"] You may be forgetting that all players were never fully healthy except for the first 5 games of the season. Anna was the starter at the beginning of the season and she remained in the starting lineup for the first 5 games of the season before being replaced in the starting lineup by Aaliyah for the Providence game. Nika got her first start against Georgetown because two starters (Paige and Anna) were injured. Anna's injury caused her to miss the middle 13 games of the season and she did not return until March 6th for the start of the BE tournament where she played limited minutes=never more than 17 in any game after she returned. To put that into context Anna's injury would have qualified her for a Medical Redshirt if last year was a non-COVID year. The injury to Anna was the most significant event that lead to a 4 guard line up. If you want to consider a player fully healthy because they were available then that should also apply to Nika for the Arizona game but.....There was no way in hell that Geno was going to take Aaliyah out of the starting lineup for Nika after the way Aaliyah played in the Iowa and Baylor games where she went 11 for 16 combined.
