While Azzi is one of the top ball handlers on the team and similar to today's lineup, will likely continue to put in some point guard minutes next year, Ines has improved in most aspects of her game. Should be some battles in practice, making the team stronger.
What if she falls in the shower?
Were you going to play 4 on 5? What starter would you have sacrificed if 5 on 5
Aubrey, under rated, under appreciated by those that pass out reward. Not by Geno and Uconn FANS. I hate to use the word UTILITY because she is so much more.
And mine - Beware the perils of under-seeding at others' risk.

Now just pull that 3 pt shooting up a bit (25%), want to be 35-40%.
Then, then, we's got a helluva team.
If you’re responding to my reply to you, yes, the last few minutes of a blowout matters in Fudd’s situation, but there is no “magic elixir”. Players play and getting back in game shape has nothing to do with who you are playing with or the score because real players just play, posers play based on the conditions you describe. Fudd is certainly no poser. Getting your feel back can happen in a flash and Fudd‘s pull up jumper during the time you suggested she be watching could have been that flash. Only the player truly knows when that happens.
Agree. Bill Belichick, when fielding questions from reporters regarding the issue of taking players out so they don't get hurt would respond by saying; "You tell me on which plays they'll get hurt and I'll be sure to take them out for that play."
I can tell that Nika has been coaching her up. Ines sticks like glue to her man and is getting way better at switching. Shes going to be a very very good point guard/ shooting guard in the years to come.
Lets add Griffin and the great drive by Nika to this list. When this happens, we are hard to defend instead of settling into a half-court offense. We have the key players and post ups to do this a lot.
Disagree! Azzi needs the work, and there is no time for practice sessions this week. The game was out of reach, and this was a perfect non-intense time for her to get a little workout.
Sorry for how this sounds, but there are only 3 players on this team whom we could "afford" to lose to injury, and all three of them were in the game at garbage time. But the last time I checked, basketball still requires a team of 5. Geno chose to give Azzi some minutes to work with them at the end, when there was little intensity to the game, as opposed to leaving more of his tired starters out there. If Azzi is going to be a major contributor down the stretch, she can't be treated like a piece of fine crystal. The fact that she declared herself ready to come back this week means that she has the confidence to be on the court at any time, and the coaches and trainers are giving her free rein.
The Portuguese steal was pretty impressive as well.
