At least right now, the most effective five on the floor is Nika, Paige, Evina, Alijah and Liv. I would love to see someone do a PER stat analysis when those five were on the floor together. It is no accident that Geno turned to that lineup late in the third quarter when Marquette made a run.

As I said in the game thread, I think that line up is UConn's best chance for a championship this year.
 
I hope Aaliyah can come into the South Carolina game focused on not being too aggressive that she commits fouls. The is the most anticipated opponent of ours yet. I hope that doesn’t make her overplay. Nice job today by her with 1 foul. She will be needed.

Aaliyah has really cut down on fouls in the last two games, and she is far more effective as a result.
 
Well played game against a tough, physical team. Real good win!!
Ball movement, again, was great. Marquette was left flat footed most of the night.
Very aggressive, ball hawking defense.
Best guard combo is Paige, Nika and Evina.
Paige plays on a completely different level.
Nika is hard nose, aggressive, full speed again damn the torpedoes!
Aaliyah is one tough kid who plays like a seasoned veteran.
When Christyn drives and slashes she is at her best.
I know many on down on Liv, but a very balanced game from her. She is not the down low bruiser that many want her to be.

A lot of positive comments from Geno in his post game.

Don't forget we could be stuck in the AAC. There are a few good teams in the BE and others will improve, just like the first time they hung around with the Huskies.

Honestly I thought Marquette was a good opponent. They played well tonight, obviously UConn got the better of them, but i’ve enjoyed being in the big east so far. Hoping the league continues to improve

For a while there I thought we were playing UCF and really getting pummeled on the boards. And then we got tough. Paige does not get the+ after her A tonight. 3 Turnovers. Christyn with an A game tonight, Liv with a solid B+. For those who want her down low, look what she did from the high post tonight. Aaliya and Nika solid A's on hustle alone. Evina B- too many turnovers and seemed to be not 100%. Anchors away Saylor!!!

Nika should start every game for the rest of her career. She plays her butt off every possession and does everything she would be expected to do and more.

Paige. The UConn elite of elite have a new member. Don't tell me it's too early for that coronation. She isn't going to get worse as time goes along, only better. Among back court players we've had I haven't had that wow feeling about a player since Maya.
