Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4994552, member: 12088"] Thanks, [USER=1131]@JoePgh[/USER]. I’ve watched replays of this game many times and appreciate any reminder of it. Your sense of it is exactly mine too. Aubrey was insanely great in this game. If only she could be the starter and give minutes like this every game. But I don’t think it’s in the cards. Her back and acl may not support this. On the other hand, as a “sixth woman” she has also had magical games, and this is a role she might be able to sustain and thrive in for the long term. Though this may not have been her best game, Chen was a good player in that season and became a very good (even great) one this past season. One thing that game showed me was what happens when the team loses its point guards. Playing without Paige Azzi and ultimately Nika made us vulnerable to precisely the sort of press and smart defense Princeton runs. Adding Kaitlyn is very wise insurance against a repeat of the same sorry situation. The other thing that stands out for me, as for many of us, is Inês. She was thrust into a high pressure situation and faltered initially, as any freshmen with so little experience would, and then gathered herself, steadied the ship, so to speak, and finally sank a few free throws when it really mattered. This started many of us dreaming about what she might grow into given more opportunities. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen at Storrs, and I’m sure we all hope it does in Spokane. [/QUOTE]
