Next 12 take a deep breath, let it out, relax. Something I had to do last night. While the score wasn't close there were a few times we had to gasp and hold our breath. I hope you are taking the time to enjoy the games while they are in progress. Easy to do after the game is over, when we can sit back and reflect. Would love to sit with you and a couple other BY's and watch a game. I enjoy your posts.
As "Q" is a favorite of mine, I have to be objective. Yes, she got plenty of court time, and worked hard every minute. But she plays out of control. She made a brilliant lay up which had her teammates jumping for joy on the bench. Then, she throws a pass away and has the ball stolen out of her hands. She can't seem to get open for her trademark three and doesn't have much else to offer. She has to watch and learn from AZZI who can find ( create ) scoring opportunities when the three isn't available. I think Morgan is clearly ahead of her, and Allie will sneak by her soon enough. I'm not sure how you keep her ( "Q" ) playing fast, yet slow her down at the same time. But court time will help. Blowouts have her name on it .
Two reasons ( three ) for optimism on AZZI: 1. She hit a three after the contact 2. She was smiling on the bench near the end of the game; 3. We have heard nomad news.
I'm with you, Capt. Morgan makes me smile. That girl makes me sit up and take notice, a monster on D and a pleasant surprise with the ball. I can wait for her to be big time. She hustles like few other players this tear, any team. Please give Allie a few more minutes, she needs to unleash her laser shots.
I believe that Allie and the rest of the bench will get plenty of minutes after UConn gets a break when they play Georgetown between the 4 ranked teams and then during BE play till they travel TN.
The other to mention there was no ice pack involved when she returned to the bench and she was moving around in a normal fashion. It was late when game ended but enjoyed the Barclays Center and the challenge of finding the right subway line to get back to Grand Central. The 4 line was not operating and the Grand Central shuttle from Times Square was not operating.
Another thing about Qadence that caught my eye watching it live was the number of times that she left the player she was responsible for in the corner. Her player on at least two occasions, possibly others, was able to receive a pass and make a wide open 3 while Qadence was flying towards her, but too late.
My wife asked me last night if Paige could be trying not to be the #1 pick coming out of college.
I've been part the Morgan Cheli "fan club" since I watched her / Archbishop Mitty in
As an orchestral veteran of almost 50 years, please drop the references. There is absolutely no similarity between a basketball team and an orchestra. Thank you.Last night I saw what I’ve always enjoyed watching when UConn is doing UConn things.
Consistently throughout the game when our opponent shuts down our option 1, option 2 delivers. If option 2 is stopped option 3 gets it done ect.
When the whole orchestra is in tune and our opponents are feeling good because they are holding down options 1-3 option 4 or 5 makes an uncontested layup or unconsciously knocks down a 3 and you see the game drain out of our antagonist.
Ya, that causes me to be happy.
PS. Azzi is more than I thought. By a lot. Just-Say-N
Good for you and good to know. Would you be OK with ballet? Geno has likened basketball to jazz.
I wouldn’t ever dare to speak for a ballet dancer.
We looked like Syphony No. 5 out there until Geno showed mercy during the 4th movement.
You haven't see our orchestra when the French horn player comes in wrong, There's stuff at him from all over.
