Message: [QUOTE="victor64, post: 4163916, member: 7101"] Turnovers, foul shooting and inconsistent shooting will prevent this good UConn team from being a great team. Nika's lack of confidence shooting an outside shot will probably keep her off the floor in a close game. Geno implied again in his presser that long term season success is based on the play of his seniors. It is why they get so many minutes. I am guessing that she would prefer to start but the team is better with Evina coming off the bench. I also think the move was made to make sure Caroline gets the minutes he wants her to have. I predict Paige starts immediately upon her return. Azzi will come off the bench but will take a chunk of Nika's minutes. It has not been talked about much (I think) but the 2-3 zone with Liv and Aaliyah playing the wings is really effective. They both do a great job of closing out. I didn't notice until others pointed it out, Piath's defense needs work. It is probably the reason, other than her health, that keeps from getting more minutes. Even though it was not statistically her best game, Caroline's demeanor never changed. Not the slightest bit of frustration when her shots weren't falling. By the way, Geno cracked a couple of jokes about Caroline's age in the presser. Funny stuff. [/QUOTE]
