Don't take this the wrong way my friend - nearly all of us UCONN fans and love these players past and present to death. But I say this-- I think you are a very angry poster.
We can all get in to throwing epithets around, and I could do so for you with a few choice adjectives, but the BY mods usually try to discourage posters like you from trying to sidestep the facts that are given to you by using innuendos. By all means, stoop away. Angry, frustrated, yeah, yeah. Those things can come from neuronically challenged posts.
Sorry if I wasn't astute enough to understand that your inability to type out names somehow meant that I should understand what you meant and that it somehow meant anything. Again as noted, Sims is the type of player that requires two guards (and post players eventually) to give her some attention together, and there is a lot of switching off during the action that can force a second guard to be the main defender on her at any one moment. Only in your world of video games with strict one-on-one matchups is there a "predominant defender" that is glued to Sims all the time.
Now since you are the sawx champion, let's just say that anyone who posts during a game thread such things as "
Who? Chong a freshman? Stokes or Banks who have zero meaningful minutes in their lives?" in commenting on the use of bench players in the Baylor game, and that followed it up by ranting at everyone who disagreed with him, "
Oh and by the way I have forgotten more about this game then you will ever know. Don't stoop to calling names you look like a child." So perhaps even your friend sawxsie would think that calling other posters "angry" is a little childish, though he's probably already forgotten he said that since he seems to have forgotten so much. And if you really believe that Sawx believes that two players who have never gotten, as he says, any meaningful minutes are, as you say "good players," I do think a visit to the pharmacy might be in order to take care of the strange delusions.
As to whether Saniya should have been "trusted" to handle Sims, I will certainly go with whatever Geno believed on that point. She was probably too inexperienced for that particular matchup. That does not mean however that she is an "underperformer" as Sawx has claimed or that she has not seen big minutes in a lot of big games this season. It just means she's a freshman and needs a bit more seasoning before she can be asked to play any major role in containing Odyssey Sims. That's no crime or indictment.
But I still hope there's a place in the world for us angry old men with our Husky clad ties and our radical plans.
