Makurat Returning For Big East Tournament

Great news! So happy to see Anna get a chance to help the team at this critical junction of the season. Obviously cleared by medical staff and approved by what Geno has seen in practice. I hope her time to sit and observe has served her well. Would love to see her not turning down an open shot to pass the ball one time too many. Possibly even drawing a foul, she has not seen the foul line once in the nine games played this season.
This is not meant as a backhanded compliment or snide yea OK. I really root for her but realize at the same time there is presently competition on the bench and much more coming in next year for PT. I hope she has a breakout game personally even if it's only 10 minutes.

I really believe if she (Anna) give short quality minutes, then Evina can go harder and get some breaks. Say 4-5 minutes per half if she blows up, leave her in a bit longer.

My first thought. ;)

Looking forward to the Mak Attack. Three games to shake cobwebs, then two weeks to prepare for Big Dance. Maybe we can make it a Polish polka.

It's great Anna is back but obviously she won't be in game shape but just to have her a few minutes to see the offense and passing and rebounding is got to be a plus..hopefully it wont take too long for her shot to come back

I still think the present game only. Being a former coach, I never look ahead.

Please can we think about tomorrow's game now? Is it too early?
 
Sung To the Tune of Jimmy Mack by Martha and the Vandellas:

"We've been waiting oh so long,
For your assists and too,
Now your leg is so much stronger,
We couldn't have waited any longer,

Anna, Anna, Anna Mak,
So glad you're coming back,
Please make us Champions.
Oh Anna, Anna, Anna Mak,
Make us Champions."

If you're taking that route, I'd go with "Polish Pistol"
The alliteration makes her shot sound more deadly.

A Sharpshooter DOES NOT use a pistol! :cool:

This song, Return of the Mack, popped into my head when I read the thread title.

Did some coaching myself and get your point but with a team like UConn it is easy for expectations of fans that the team will make the final of a conference they swept. Fans don't get paid to think like coaches. ;)

Better for the Mojo that way.

I'll take momentum, moxie or swagger over Mojo any day. ;) No offense I love what you bring. Just don't think hoodoo or spirits have much to do with sports. Preston "Red Foster" wrote "I got my mojo working". Ann Cole and Muddy Waters did make money with the song but the mojo did not work for their quest. :(
Just having fun guys.... GO HUSKIES !!!

I don't believe that @meyers7 thinks hoodoo has much to do with sports either. He did not use the wink, but he was poking fun there.
