Message: [QUOTE="#12in21, post: 4586493, member: 10763"] I have to give props to Aubrey - she came in and totally impacted the game, that was badass! That has pretty much been her MO from day one at Uconn. When she has it working she comes in off the bench and totally changes the game - our guys anticipate that change, the opponent not so much - so it can be exceptionally disruptive to them and get us back on track and rolling. The thing about this team that is so very special is that every single one of the seven key rotation players is exceptional in their particular roles. As Geno often says, all they ask of the players is to do what you do best, the best way they can - all the time. They are collectively so much greater than the individual pieces. There really isn't one star on this team and they have found ways collectively to adapt to make the necessary adjustments to cover if one of them is off, injured or has to sit with foul trouble (as was the case today with Aaliyah). They aren't as good in those cases as when whole but their will to win and to fight through anything thrown at them has allowed them to find a way. This is a pretty unique team in that every single one of them is so very important to the teams success. They are one BADASS team! To paraphrase Nika, 'they have been broken so much this season that at this point they are unbreakable'. More so than any season I can remember, I want for all the players on this squad, to see them end this one with a W in final game. No heartbreak for this group, they have fought like hell to end this year with hugs and smiles! [/QUOTE]
