Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 5231132, member: 73"] Monday nite will be another blowout. Dont kid yourself. UConns defense will eat up the Jackrabbits and just about everybody they face. UConns defense puts fear in opponents heads. It also put doubt and hesitation not to make a mistake in their heads. That is very hard to overcome even if and opponent feels like they can get it going. Paige has that look in her eye. She knows what she has to do and there is nobody like her. She will control the game and team. She is focused and as the leader on the team she will take over when she needs to. Yesterday she recognize Azzi Ash and Sarah were hot and she feed them and they ate it up. Caroline is a pleasant surprise. She looked comfortable. Shes coming around. She will be an asset moving forward. Just think about having a Caroline who can do some of the things she did before she got hurt. She is a threat to score and she showed yesterday shes not afraid. This is big moving forward. I did hear the announcers at half time mention Lindsey Gottlieb and USC were not happy that UConn was in their bracket. I dont care how much of a positive attitude an opponent has from here on out. Once they face UConns defense the self doubt will settle in and then having to worry about UConns Big 3 or 4 or 5 well when UConn gets going thats gonna be it. Having Ash hit her shots yesterday and Azzi shooting without hesitation and more so shooting and looking for her shot is a huge plus. Yesterday was a big step forward. Everybody else got going and didnt depend on Paige to carry them. Paige was the facilitator and leader and that did alot for the mental side of the game for Azzi Ash and the team. Being on ABC nationwide opened alot of eyes and that too put doubt in many peoples minds knowing just how good UConn is playing. UConn has leaders. UConn has a tremendous defense. UConn has 3 scorers that can score alot of points with most importantly confidence. We were a well oiled machine yesterday. We have been inching towards that since we began to get healthy. The missing pieces of the puzzle are back and getting healthy again. The most important piece of the puzzle could be the one we unexpected and that is Caroline. If she gets her shot going its gonna be lights out. I see a team having fun and all those smiles show confidence. Paige has that look and that look is the will to win. [/QUOTE]
