Totally, totally agree. She actually may have a better selection.When Paige and Azzi return, I hope Caroline becomes more judicious in her shot selection. It's okay now, because others are reluctant to shoot, but in the future....

Completely agree that Caroline's rough shooting from 3 was because she was forced to do too much. Caroline will absorb this and get even tougher.Completely embarrassing. Liv did well, Caroline trying to do too much. Westbrook doesn't deserve to start again. When everyone comes back, last guard off the bench. No fire at all, looked like she didn't want to play.
She will not have double teams charging at her with Paige and/or Azzi, or even Christyn, on the court. She was rushing her shots; her tempo is usually much smootherWhen Paige and Azzi return, I hope Caroline becomes more judicious in her shot selection.

I mean they could very well lose to SC if they play in the tournament but Caroline didn't play that game(obviously has proven herself since being able to get minutes), and Azzi and Nika played hurt. Plus they were only down 3 going into the 4th quarter of that game. It is going to hard for Geno to get the most out of this group, trying to distribute minutes and get them to have the mental toughness that championship teams have. But I do think they have enough talent to compete for a title if healthy.Question for those who believe UConn will rebound when everyone is back, who was injured for the South Carolina game, that would have made a difference? Saylor and Mir are both gone, and Griffin is out for the season.
Edwards and Ferris B took the day offJust curious...what does this even mean? What am I missing?
Olivia was terrific, scrapping and moving and calling for the ball while being banged around by the Oregon bigs. She deserves only praise for her efforts and execution: 7-9 shooting, 3-4 foul shots, 8 rebounds, 6 assists.Losing Williams was huge. At the end of the day, she is an offensive threat, and when you replace her with Muhl for 40 minutes, our offensive output is bound to tank. Muhl, unfortunately, is not good on the offensive side of things.
A bright spot was how hard Olivia fought. She had a really nice game and I was proud of her effort. Ducharme also fought hard, but had a very rough day from 3. Also had a few turnovers trying to make things happen, which was ok since at least she was trying.
I think the perfect thing to point out is AE taking steps on a wide open transition layup. It's an example of how a lot of our players completely crack under pressure. Completely rattled.
At least this group of 3 seniors can graduate knowing that all three lost their homecoming games.
If not Carolyn, whoTotally, totally agree. She actually may have a better selection.
Moral Victory--you bet! down by 15 at the end of the 1st Qtr, lost by 13, that means Uconn played them near even for 3, while short handed. That's better than moral, it . I too was not surprised by the loss. Frankly, they did well.This team played one bad quarter on the road and it killed them. They also played hard as spit from the opening tip. Made me proud. They lost, but I have no complaints. Once I heard CW was in protocol I had no expectations they would win. I really just want to see all of these teams they've lost to down the road.
The only thing I don't doubt about this team is that Caroline will integrate well with Azzi and PaigeWhen Paige and Azzi return, I hope Caroline becomes more judicious in her shot selection. It's okay now, because others are reluctant to shoot, but in the future....
Ah, well played. Sorry I missed it.Edwards and Ferris B took the day off
“Everyone who was injured for the South Carolina game”????Question for those who believe UConn will rebound when everyone is back, who was injured for the South Carolina game, that would have made a difference? Saylor and Mir are both gone, and Griffin is out for the season.

I think it will be Azzi that will have to integrate.The only thing I don't doubt about this team is that Caroline will integrate well with Azzi and Paige
