Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 4459446, member: 7171"] Random observations from being at the game: Watching the team run out on the floor and seeing no Dorka was the first stressful moment of the night. Hardly the last. We had eight players warming up, Princeton had fourteen available. How do all these other programs have so many players? This seems to be a continuing theme over the last few seasons, we are outnumbered. Fortunately we have fourteen projected for next season. Aubrey simply took the team on her surgically repaired back tonight. That take to the hoop at the 40 second mark with UConn up two was the play of the game, possibly the season so far. Fearless. Any doubts about Nika`s importance to this team have been officially laid to rest. The difference with her out there versus not is night and day. I thought we missed Azzi most when we were in transition in the first half, which was often. Nika would have found her for a few threes and we would have been up by more than twenty at halftime. Lou was playing great as well although I thought she forced a few shots. I thought when she was on the bench that Geno was giving her a minute or two but knew something was up when she did not come right back in. When the team ran over to high five the front row of the student section after the game, Lou was walking and somewhat gingerly. The defense in the second quarter was vintage UConn. Holding Princeton to 20 points in the first half was quite an accomplishment. It took some guts for Ines to hit that second free throw after missing the first. Made it a three point game, and limited Princeton`s options. Princeton will never have a better chance than it had tonight. Mateo made the layup, foul shot and three pointer. He continued the extraordinary shooting we have seen during timeouts. Avelo Air now has to take him wherever he wants to go. Hope Lou and Nika don`t miss much time, that Dorka is back soon, that Azzi is back by early January, and that Caroline can round into shape. That`s not too much to ask, is it? [/QUOTE]
