Message: [QUOTE="PvP, post: 4004111, member: 9955"] I like Liv. She is personable and intelligent. At the same time, I can't understand why she is being anointed an opening game starter by so many. She is known over her career at UConn to simply disappear in high pressure games. Some suggest that while this is true, her performance against weaker teams is often so good that such disappearances can be tolerated. That might be true if there were, as in recent years, no viable alternatives. But this year there may be several but let's just focus on one. While to my knowledge, ONO has not found a place on any first team conference selections even when UConn was playing in the AAC which was hardly a Power 5 conference. On the other hand Dorka has been a first team selection in the Big 10 not once but twice. She is big and according to Geno "skilled." To me, if there is to be a clear choice as the starter at 5 this November it isn't Liv. [/QUOTE]
