Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2160236, member: 6761"] Ah, a variation on the weekly question of who starts. I'm going to get rained on with dislikes here, and I'm a huge, huge Lou fan, but after going 10-10 in 3s, she just didn't play like an All-American. Not saying anyone should have been bumped up ahead of her, just that she just "good" but never great after that. She is a very good player, whose defensive strengths and liabilities are clear; not a good rebounder for her size; a very good, but not great ballhandler; generally a very smart player. Potential to dominate offensively, but gets worn down. If the AA vote had been taken after the season, Gabby and Pheesa would still have been there. But Lou? I bet 2nd or 3rd team, based on the complete body of work. Next year, if Geno can keep her to around 22 minutes/game, maybe we'll see the Lou we all know is there. Looking forward to that, but the jury's still out. So, I'd say that Lou clearly has the potential to be first team AA again, but also the potential not to be, depending on circumstances. I do think UConn has the potential to max out with 3 players 1st team and (at least) 2 players on 2nd or 3rd team. Hell, the top 7 could be get some mention. [/QUOTE]
