Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3739599, member: 3535"] But no one said that any player should average near 35 minutes a game. If so -- who said it? What posts? What was said I recall that some of us want the superstars in big games getting big minutes. But for this team it's unknown who the superstars are. So I haven't seen - "you got to give . . . player 33 minutes per game." Maybe I missed that. So if no superstars then sure - share the minutes more. But how often does UCONN not have multiple superstars? As far as playing 30 minutes or under on average, sure if you are blowing teams out. Or like in 02-03 and 03-04 in which many of the players are about the same and your superstar (DT) is banged up hurt. If UCONN is as good as we think and there are no injuries - - there would be 9 players getting 10 more minutes. But will a player that is getting just above 10 minutes per game be enough to make her content if the player is not contributing in big games? Morgan Valley had foot issues so 11 minutes was fine. And I'm not sure anyone is saying only 7 players will get 10 minutes or more. It's in big games which Geno has shown the propensity to use less of his bench. There are exceptions-- and in some cases desperation for a specific game. Is what I'm saying wrong???????????? I think everyone would agree with you at least 8 players (just like in 02-03 and 03-04) will get at least 10 minutes. But for that player getting 10-11 minutes and not being played at all in big games or sparingly be okay just getting 10-11? [/QUOTE]
