Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 5111621, member: 73"] We should not be concerned about a win tonite. We should be looking looking at improvement and less jitters. I expect us to proceed with caution for those coming back from injuries. What they give us they give us and it will take time for them to get up to speed. Dont be so concerned about individual performances as much as individual performances. At times we're gonna look good and at times not so good. This is a learning and developmental process for this young team. The coach's are given a chance to see who is progressing and what adjustments they need to make. We are not in mid season form yet. Our returning players will be depended on to set the pace. Obviously Azzi is a key and she needs to be ready to go when shes ready to go and not before. It would be great to have her ready to go tonite but its not smart to risk her health when we need it most importantly in Decembers big games. As good as we are on paper, we are still not ready to go full speed yet. Until the injuries are fully healed and the players are mentally and physically ready to go we are not at full speed. We should have no worries because we have Paige to carry us until other players are ready to step up. Understand that even if a player is cleared to play its still gonna take time for them physically to be able to play and not be concerned about lingering pain down the road. This is why everybody should get minutes/ playing time especially early in the season. We will be playing through our mistakes which will make for an up and down performance. This is part of the learning process. So tonite against BU look for the positives and accept mistakes. Mistakes are nothing more then learning what doesnt work and how to correct it. Any changes the coaching staff makes in a kids game will most likely take time for them to adjust. This will lead to UConns success. Success is failure turned inside out. [/QUOTE]
