Message: [QUOTE="packwrap, post: 5167116, member: 13341"] I think on the whole the team is close to meeting expectations. The pundits had us ranked #2 pre season behind SC, shocking but that means we make the championship game. Why #2? Paige and Azzi show, nice group of returnees, El Alfy and Brady promising up front, Strong and other good recruits and transfers. Health! Now the pundits have us ranked #6/#7, falling in the round of 8. Why?? Paige and Azzi show a bit slow to develop (and Hidalgo/Miles shiny new toys), El Alfy/Brady combo not at expected level. 2 losses.... ...but, Sarah much better than expectations, all in all returnees playing well, Cheli also a nice surprise. The only difference between pre season and current asessment, is we have to win one game against a good team in the round of 8. Personally, I believe we have the team to do that, and by March will be favored in that game. Chen - a bit of an enigma. She chooses not to shoot. Today 4 shots vs 15-20 at Princeton. Yet she can still get her shot anytime she wants.:confused: Aubrey - she is not going to rescue the team, but if she comes back close to her normal self, she fills the hole we have now for a lock down defender 1-5. (Our best defenders now are Paige and KK). In the pre season scenario, I had hoped Aubrey could stick at the 3 this year, as we had a good frontcourt. Now more likely she is back at the 4. Can't wait for Tenn and SC! [/QUOTE]
