Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4089065, member: 1131"] The last player like that which I can recall was Kelly Faris (quite a while ago now), about whom he said (before the first game) that she would probably never have a bad game at UConn. (He meant that her floor game was so good that even if her shot wasn't falling, she would play well enough to contribute in every other way.) He was off by one -- she did have a really bad game against Duke in her freshman year. I think that was the only one she had in four years. What I sense in Caroline Ducharme (even before I see her play) is that I think she has some of Paige's immunity to the pressure of expectations and UConn basketball generally. I think she will play to her talent level almost immediately, whatever that is. I don't see Azzi as having that level of calm and composure, so I won't be surprised if Caroline Ducharme is more consistent than Azzi in the early games. [/QUOTE]
