Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3136698, member: 7511"] Contributor is a broad term. Against Stanford as a sophomore, Saniya had 20 pts and was promptly benched by Geno for the next game in favor of Kia due to a Saniya’s defensive lapses. From then on through her junior year it was hit and miss with Saniya. Come NCAA tournament time, Saniya only saw the court during mop up time. During her Jr year, with UConn up big in the 2nd half of the championship game vs Syracuse, Geno put Saniya in during the 3rd qtr whereupon she promptly turned the ball over several times and was quickly subbed out until mop up time at the end of the game. I remember discussions here on the BY, before they were halted by the administration, and elsewhere speculating that with Crystal coming in as a freshman, Saniya would transfer to seek PT elsewhere. Saniya surprised many by returning for her senior season, earning the starting spot, playing very solid basketball, getting drafted and making a WNBA team. But at the end of her Jr year very few BY’ers felt that Saniya would be starting as a senior. [/QUOTE]
