Message: [QUOTE="CTtoSanDiego, post: 4275687, member: 8375"] First, a great year for our Huskies, given all the adversity all year. Making it to the championship game was amazing. Having said that, the way we came out in tonight's game was very disappointing. It was like we weren't ready to play. That was embarrassing. But, as if all the adversity we faced all year wasn't enough, we lost Dorka last game, and Azzi was sick for this one. South Carolina would have been a tough foe at full strength, but we were depleted. Now, Paige was good, but not as assertive as we needed her to be. Took control late in the first half, but was way too deferential in the second half. Some of that was SC's defense, but great players need to assert themselves. I'd rather go down with her taking 20 or 30 shots than with some of the shots other players ended up taking. Still, she is an amazing talent we are blessed to have to watch for at least another year (and hopefully 2 or 3). Our seniors were a big disappointment tonight. They had good careers, but tonight, Liv was just okay and CW was AWOL. E was good, not great. She gave us all she had for two years. I applaud them all, even though more was expected. Nika and Caroline played hard, if not always well. I'm very glad to have them back next year, and expect good things. Finally, and I hate to say this, I think we were outcoached. SC came out fierce and ready to play, and I don't think we did. Still, given the mismatches, Geno was up against it. I'm looking forward to next year! [/QUOTE]
