Message: [QUOTE="Inthepaint, post: 4363403, member: 11386"] After I heard about Paige’s injury, must admit to being despondent and figured the upcoming season would be a disappointment at best. Then I remembered the sinking feeling after the miserable Georgia Tech debacle. I thought that , without our best player and catalyst it would be one stomach churning loss after another. But I kept watching. There were indeed some difficult moments ( Oregon, Villanova), but NOBODY gave up. Some people brought their “A” game at critical moments, Geno & Company managed to keep everybody motivated( and Husky Nation) and reconstituted the team in time to make a thrilling run in the NCAA tourney. It didn’t end the way we wanted, but we sure got our money’s worth considering what any reasonable expectations could have been. We had Paige Bueckers and now we don’t. I anticipate a season of ups and downs. Some shining moments from unexpected people and some head scratching ones from others. The only thing we know for sure is that this group won’t go quietly into the night. Too much hard work, personal expectations and talent to just lay down and slip into mediocrity. It’s going to be interesting to say the least. And Paige may not be out on the floor, but I’m guessing that Geno, Caroline Doty, Jamelle and Morgan will have a little extra help on the bench. [/QUOTE]
