Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 5340934, member: 73"] We have a very good nucleus coming back that made for an exceptional defense the past 2 seasons. We will build on that and only become better. I believe Caroline and Kayleigh will add to our outside shooting. Paige was automatic and a great go to player. This season because of our balance and depth we will be a team that will operate on those 2 factors. Geno showed everyone last season that you dont need a big to win when he played small. The key there was Sarah coming outside to shoot and her defender having to make the decision to come out and guard her or leave her open. Either way opponents had a problem with that. We are a very tall athletic team that individually and as a team can do alot. There will be alot of competition in practice to impress the coaches. This is good. Execution on both sides of the ball will determine who sees action. We have too much talent to not win and win big. I dont believe opponents have enough defensive players to guard us one on one. Think about this. Azzi and Sarah are our top scorers. Opponents will use their best defenders to guard them. Opponents also have to worry about our bigs down low. Most teams dont have the height to size up with us one on one down low with Jana Ice Serah. Now throw in Caroline and Kayleigh from the outside and a couple of slashers like Blanca and KK and you can get the idea that UConn will be very tuff to stop. Geno builds teams that play as unselfish teams. This is what makes UConn so tuff. As the season progresses and the newbies adapt and gain confidence we will see a team that will be very hard top beat. [/QUOTE]
