Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 3834253, member: 656"] Thoughts: 1. Defense takes a lot of effort: when the game was on the line, in the first half, St J. was held to 12/12 = 24 and the D might have been the best of the season. In the 3rd quarter the game was perilously close to being garbage time...not to take anything away from Correa; A real offensive threat. But after halftime, the game felt almost over and defensive effort and focus has been know to relent at that point. 2. Show of hands: who missed Christyn, Aubrey, who remembers Anna? Not to disparage our injured former starters...but those who played, sure looked pretty good; and don't give me that crap, that those who are left have to step up...The future of this team is the young uns plus Mamma, Geno knows that, and I would not be surprised if future minutes bear that out. On a day that the team's, offensive co-star, Ms. Mamma couldn't hit the side of a barn, the rest sure showed promise...Paige shot more, Aaliyah did her prime Tina imitation (Does she even have a better sense of timing as she rolls to openness)?...And Nika...Was it not only a few games ago that she was standing tearfully on the sidelines while Geno lit into her? Tonight, It was a close contest between her and Paige as to whom made the most impressive passes. And as a bonus, she hit a bunch of shots Another BB whiz...Can't have too many. Yet...there remains uncertainty...as I have proclaimed all season...It was 5 and 10 (not the old chain store...wins and losses) St. John's tonight, not a top-team.. we'll know a lot more after South C...but I imagine Geno is taking the long view...We may lose again, even Marquette is no push-over...but the identity, individual abilities, and cohesiveness of the kiddie corps is coming into focus...and coach has a lot of gifted, fearless youth to work with.
