Just tuned into the Sun on CTSN.

On the court with Hightower was Charles, Jones, Montgomery and Greene.

I watched them score 12 straight points with steals by Montgomery and Greene, Greene blocking shots, Jones hitting jumpers, Charles snagging rebounds.

It is so great for a UConn fan to watch. Whoo hoo!!!

So, um, why is Renee coming off the bench?

Thibault is just so dumb.

No, he's taking a page from Geno's book.

Thibault reprised his early-season strategy, starting Danielle McCray for Montgomery and using Montgomery as a spark off the bench. And he made one more switch, placing Hightower in the lineup for Kalana Greene so that she could guard San Antonio's Becky Hammon.
"It was huge for us. You have scoring and energy at every position and the capacity to interchange starters [in the backcourt]," Thibault said. "I think Renee may have more chances to score than she did when she was starting. When she comes off the bench, we need her to be an aggressive scorer. Look at the NBA and see how many players can do that. We need that. And our bench can actually give us a pick-me-up, instead of just holding down the fort. We can increase what we've done or make up for what we haven't done. It's been good."
