Message: [QUOTE="jabstep, post: 4238552, member: 10340"] The thing that the Huskies give to all of us is hope. Thru the pandemic we all hoped it would end or that we would not get sick or our friends and family were safe. We all hoped they would win another championship with the new recruits on board, we had a lot to look forward too. Then the season started and things didn't go as planned. A early loss to our new arch rivals the SC Dawn Staley physical, tough Gamecocks after an early lead in the game. Then Aubrey was out for the season and Azzi was on the bench in a boot. Paige went down and boom we were in trouble. Dorka seemed lost in the new schemes for her. Aaliyah was not the same and was walking and missing layups. Then the emergence of Caroline as our go to scorer happened. Sure she was jacking them up and taking our most shot per game but somebody had to as our seniors were not stepping up to the task. Caroline has no conscience about shooting. She was the Silent assasin. The team now knew she could cut thru the paint and get position and call for the ball almost demanded it and would score most of the time. She would run screens and take 3 point shot or drive and make the pull up jumpers. Wow we had ourselves a player. We were still playing with only six and it was hard to pressure other teams because we could not foul or Amari might have had to play PG. Geno would faint. He was looking distraught at times with our play on the sidelines. CD had to end up coaching and think things changed a little after that. We struggled but were pulling out some wins. Azzi finally came back and was asked rather quickly to become the number 1 recruit from her HS class rather quickly. All of of sudden the boneyard realized she was not only a good shooter but a great defender, back door cutter, rebounder, and on ball defender and help defender as well. Wow we had another player. Someone had to go to the bench and Evina became that person and we all know what a difference that has made in her game. Faster, better defender, and more confidence in her slashing and 3 point shooting. Wow, we now have a really game changing bench player. Dorka and Aaliyah starting playing well and Christyn starting hitting her 3 point shots and here we are at the verge of something Big and we now have our best cheerleader back to complete this journey. Our hope is restored again. [/QUOTE]
