Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 5119529, member: 73"] We have alot of underclassmen who need more experience and more development as we wait for our walking wounded experienced players to get back. They are not Paige Kaitlyn Azzi or Sarah. It will take time. How much time? As long as it takes, so we must be patient. With that said we will lean on Paige Sarah Kaitlyn and Azzi when she gets back. I would like to see Chen score more. We needed it against UNC and we will need Chen to be a scoring option while everyone else is coming along. When Chen becomes a scoring option it will take alot of pressure off everybody else. We have seen videos of her ability to create against top teams. We need her to show what she can do. I expect this week in practice Geno will work on playing against a zone. We clearly were chucking up to many shots by players other then Paige and Chen who I believe the defense focused on making everybody else beat them. If everybody else was hitting their open shots the outcome wouldve been better. But because we didnt, hey we still won by double digits against a top 20 team, on the road on an off night. That says alot about how good we are at this point in the early season with a young team that is still finding their way. We have bigs this season. Against UNC Sarah Jana and Ice performed well. They will all get better. We are seeing Ice's improvement already and it will continue. Sarah plays far beyond her years. Jana needs time at the college level. I am confident we will see her breakout game soon just because she has the talent. Its going to come down to defense. Our defense has looked pretty good and will improve but not overnight. Geno is still filling in the pieces to the puzzle to see who fits where. Our underclassman are going through a learning curve. They will be worked in, in games where UConn can work them in. Until then in big games our rotation of 7/8 will not change. [/QUOTE]
