Message: [QUOTE="NY Fan, post: 4501859, member: 11082"] For accuracy sake, my first para used "close to 40 minutes" not "40 minutes". Part of the benefit of my outrageous Spectrum subscription is to hear Kara Walters who has been saying virtually the same thing about playing time in general. The game announcers expressed the same sentiment. And no, I'm not trying to win a conversation but to have one. Re Nika: Again I said she has played "nearly 40 minutes" and wondered if this might be impacting her # of turnovers. No mention of injury. BTW - Is it wrong to wonder if players get tired playing nearly 40 minutes and might be less effective and prone to errors? Re Azzi: Respectfully, I mentioned Azzi in the first paragraph which said nothing about playing time. It emphasized how "fleeting" being in a good place can be a la Paige last year in the final minute of the ND game or this year's injury. I sure as heck hope Azzi's injury is not serious, and as for Lou, a couple of times announcers referred to her in a couple of games as perhaps having hurt or ankle today and foot in a previous game. Please don't ask me to cite the exact time that was mentioned, but imagine injuries to both and its impact on the team and season. Given the way the season has been going, is that too far fetched? Re your reference to Lou "As far as Lou, she has played more minutes at UCONN than she has at Fairfield?": Honestly, I don't know if it's a statement or a question. If it's a statement, I accept it. If a question, I don't have the answer. hoophuskee, by asking what appear to me logical questions, my intent is not to antagonize or incur wrath. I'm just a fan, admittedly as passionate about UConn WBB as you and others on the Boneyard. I respect and understand the other side of the core vs bench case. [/QUOTE]
