Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2440805, member: 1772"] I agree with you that the most interesting area of focus is on Batouly. I'll be delighted if Lou is sufficiently fit to get a little time out there vs ND, but her presence for that game, however desirable, will not be required to secure the win. I'd much prefer for her role to be very limited until she's 100%. The truth is - and I know it's anathema to say this - the outcome of the ND game, one way or the other, really isn't that important in the grand scheme of things. But I'm kind of old school...undefeated seasons sound nice, but it's National Championships, at least in my view, that matter! As you suggest, with Lou we know what we've got and what the nature of her contribution will be whenever she returns. But for the long-term, should Batouly (a player about whom I know very little) turn out to be a serious role player, meaning the significant "physical presence underneath" to which you refer, now that would be a big deal indeed! I won't be looking for her to score a point. But give us a ferocious rebounder off the bench and a tough down-low defender? I'll sign on for that in a heartbeat!! [/QUOTE]
