Message: [QUOTE="#12in21, post: 4232840, member: 10763"] An argument, as has been, can be made for so many of our players being most improved but the beauty of it is that OUR Team has greatly improved. As the season began it seemed this would again be a 'Paige centric" team with an influx of Azzi Fudd supplemented by major senior contributions with Aaliyah Edwards in the mix and a spattering of Dorka - and rest not so much. The chemistry wasn't really there, Azzi seemed to still be fighting residual injuries, Edwards didn't show up, Dorka wasn't yet clicking and then we lost Paige and the dominos began to fall. After some unbelievable lows we started to see light, Caroline sparked the offense and Nika the defense and pushing pace on both ends, Evina found her footing as an instant change maker off the bench, Liv and Christyn embraced their hoped for senior leadership roles, Dorka emerged as the force we had hoped she would, Azzi hit threes, pull-ups, drives and played great defense and to cap it off the beast of the East, Aaliyah came back with a vengeance. Things were gelling, we were seeing "UConn basketball" again and just as the regular season ended we got Paige back. A nine player rotation with constant subbing, every player contributing, excellent pressure defense, efficient offense and simply beautiful basketball and still room before we hit our ceiling is how this team plans on hitting the dance floor. We, as a fan base, are the luckiest in the country to follow this group of women as they finish out this made for movie season! [/QUOTE]
