Message: [QUOTE="wbball novice, post: 3429574, member: 8663"] Anna apparently solved the problem of players not passing to her by passing to the other players; 11 assists. Still has some issues handling the ball under pressure -- source of her second foul. CD seemed to have receded into the background a little bit. That Anna did a lot of the ball handling did not result in more shots for Crystal, but she was second in assists with 8. Probably it was due to Anna's passing skills and energy (since she started instead of Kyla) that UConn women's basketball returned to being a beautiful game in several moments. Also really great to see CW & MW both regaining their shooting touch, even if (according to Chat) Paige Buecker's high school team could have beaten the Memphis players by 40 pts. Since they gave UConn a hard time in the previous meeting, the team that will play SC next week isn't much better than a high school team. Hopefully we can keep it close like Memphis did in the earlier game. Megan did so well it was suggested that she leave for the WNBA since she won't be getting any better & open up a starting position for Paige next year. Sounds a little off the wall, but according to Geno in his press conference, he started Anna tonight because he always listens to his critics, so maybe he reads the BY and takes the hint & nudges Megan out the door. Liv was getting all her shots tonight but was hampered by 2 penalties in Q1. Previous Memphis game their big girl scored big. Not this time. Liv had a part in this. Aliyah Boston next week, though. Good luck, Liv! I was in General Women's Basketball this afternoon reading about SMU. Glad we're getting out of AAC for reasons other than mediocre competition -- don't really want to have anything to do with them. Shows what happens if you really get invested in the winning is the only thing state of mind. I hope every one of our "mediocre" players stay as long as they can, win or lose. [/QUOTE]
