Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 4220237, member: 7093"] After a while, I began watching this game hoping no one ( on Providence) got really frustrated and started unnecessarily banging people around. I think there were a few really hard fouls ( Nika and CW each took one). I think that possibility is why Geno kept Paige on the bench as the game got into the final stages. There's much to be said that this team will not have any really challenging games through the Big East tournament. Clearly, DePaul, Villanova, and one or two others are capable. But UConn is returning to "full strength" and running in nine players that are all great. Paige will get a decent rest, and integrate some good practices before game one. I think Geno knows that even AZZI and Paige ( at least in the BE tournament ) need not get more than 20-25 minutes each in that competition. When " the fur really flies " in the Big Dance, however, things may change. But Geno has still to find that "killer" combination. But Paige will be starting. [/QUOTE]
