Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2408284, member: 6761"] At the macro level, some of us may only be happy with an undefeated, blow-out season; others with just an undefeated seasons; others would "settle" for a loss or two, so long as it's not in the final game. Beyond that, some may need to see 3 1st team AAs, or some other honor for specific players, etc. But as with all Geno-coached teams, the devil is in the details. Drilling down on expectations, it's the level of play, game after game. How to stay sharp in a 50 point blow out? How to stay cool in a close game? Is this team as efficient as last year's with assists/point ratio? Does Lou continue to improve her defense; Pheesa her passing; Gabby her outside shot; Kia her layups; Crystal her consistency; Z her underneath work? Do the subs play effectively when they get playing time? Does Geno learn to tweet out the correct game time? Years from now, most of us will look back and judge this season by only one metric: is there a 12th banner in Gampel with this year on it? But for the next 5 months let's enjoy the small things too. It's getting those small things right that makes the big things go. And let's remember that the team does improve on those small things as the season goes along--but so do other teams. [/QUOTE]
