Message: [QUOTE="NY Fan, post: 4501368, member: 11082"] [USER=3535]@hoophuskee[/USER] - Re "...we're in a good place..." today's Georgetown game demonstrates how fleeting that can be. I sure hope Azzi's sitting out the the rest of the game was only precautionary, and she'll be ready for Seton Hall. When Lou looked as if she had sprained her ankle, that was a concerning few moments. As another poster observed, you can't have core players averaging close to 40 minutes per game and not risk tired legs leading to injury. [USER=11185]@LwrcasefaN[/USER] - Re your post, " With all the injuries, both probably got more minutes in 16 games than they would have without the injuries to other players. The reality is the better the program the deeper the bench can become. Just stay ready...so you don't have to get ready." I would be grateful for some amplification. Given we've had and continue to have injury issues, sure they've played more than they would have sans those issues. Are you advocating that under these circumstances they should get more time during blowout games or not? That's where I am confused. [B]Team Chemistry: [/B]A case can be made that today's game validates posters who argued for more playing time for the core. I respectfully disagree and quote the GOAT who said in the half-time interview that "...nobody showed up..." Also, given the great chemistry of the St. John's game a couple of days ago, an equally likely if not more probable explanation is the team simply had an off day. They are allowed! Going back to my original post in this thread, today's game demonstrated we could need Ines this season on very short notice, and an investment in more playing time during blowout games could yield significant upside returns.
