Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4032266, member: 10435"] I think it's definitely a small lineup in the beginning at least because I think the starting 5 is the same as last year's. Let's remember that they were the #1 ranked team by the services going into the tourney last year so do you really need to reinvent the wheel? Starting doesn't necessarily mean playing a lot on this team. I was most impressed by Azzi's defense. That is a big plus when it comes to playing time. I suspect she will be much improved in her overall game by Midnight Madness compared to her U19 games but some of her performance was the result of the style of play which was AAU. There will not be any "hero" guards on UCONN this year so she may actually have other players like Nika, Paige and/or E actually passing her the ball in shooting position. Then, if she disappoints and underperforms, no one can label the criticisms as unfair. BTW, you know that ain't gonna happen playing with her best friend. [/QUOTE]
