I liked what I saw short and sweet

When I saw Ayanna play, she struck me as a physical specimen. She also has a tough-minded, won’t back down approach that’s going to make her a difficult matchup. She and Aaliyah can do some damage in thepaint

Remember what she said a couple 3 weeks ago.........”if you don’t know me now, you will.” Sounds like a line drawn in the sand to me.

Some folks refuse to admit they might have been mistaken. They made an initial assessment relative to Nika as a freshman and struggle to see beyond it. Nika surprised many Husky fans by earning a starting spot as a freshman. Last year she surprised many Husky fans by earning the BE DPOY honor. Maybe she’ll surprise Husky fans again this year by leading the team to a national championship at pg.

She must have been watching replays of Swin Cash and Tina Charles when they played at UConn. According to Geno, that's how those two got many of their rebounds by rebounding their misses.

Yeah, Geno gets sarcastic sometimes.

Strength isn’t her weakness. She needs to develop a variety of shots around the paint, she’s not just jumping over 5-10 kids in there anymore.

From what I have seen thus far (not very much) both Ayanna and Aubrey rely almost entirely on their strength and athleticism: they are accustomed to out-quick and out-leap their opponents for rebounds. However, they could learn to add some finesse after pulling down offensive rebounds-- pump fakes, footwork, etc. to translate those rebounds into put-back points.

.......and now we understand why Amari gets so little floor time.

Discussion of Amari’s play is a valid basketball topic and can continue

Some of the comments about Amari is just petty and is getting excessive. But I will follow your guide on this one.

Ill wait til after the texas game before i decide how many PPG the team averages.

I think even after that Texas game, the team should have a pretty high PPG average.

Since this thread is "short and sweet", I will include the UConn Highlight clip so you can OD on all the great plays without annoying gaps.

I love what I saw out there as well. Looking forward to Thursday's game.
