Message: [QUOTE="Jim R, post: 2563927, member: 98"] Rocky - you hit the nail on the head....almost First, although, despite the reservations on the board about Azura, in her first year playing under Geno & crew, she'll be one of our keys to our success, if we face MS ST. Since there are some many other scoring options that have led to this team's success over the past couple of years, my guess is, she's been limited purposely. In other words, he's mentioned more than once how introducing new elements into a team, that's already operating pretty well, can cause problems. It doesn't mean the contribution won't help, but, the "how" and "when" of the new addition is vital to continued success, instead of it being a disruption. And, the good thing is, Azura is being patient. Next year, their dependence on her, will be undeniable. Having said that, for those who've noticed, during our most competitive games, who has been the go-to player in crunch time? Has there ever been a player with more double-doubles in their first year of playing at UCONN - starter on not? While I admire what Vic has accomplished in a short time at MS ST, without McCowan's presence, do we really think they'd be in this position? Height does make a difference. But, fortunately, I'm confident that just as he did with Notre Dame after a few of their Diggins victories, Geno and crew has figured out what's needed against vs MS ST. As they say, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me! [/QUOTE]
