Message: [QUOTE="RedStickHusky, post: 3834374, member: 663"] Don't know if he meant to but Geno did sound disappointed post-game when he said "Christyn told me she couldn't go". My measured take after a little refection is that a) she tried to get through warm ups -- that's what players are gonna do; b) given all the BY talk about CW needing to be a slasher/defender/rebounder and not a hang-around the three-point line player, her playing through a bad ankle probably wouldn't help in that regard; c) it was a good night to see what some others can do. Aaliyah had a great game, being in the flow and keeping herself on the floor. Mir is earning her minutes even if Geno thinks she's lobbing hand grenades in the direction where she thinks the rim is. I'm still not sure Saylor can work herself into being a rotation player this year but it looks like she's being given the opportunity to try. Geno did say that Anna is not close to being back, so that may be a factor in Saylor getting a look. All-in-all probably a good night to give Christyn a rest with a heavy schedule coming up. Haven't seen much post-game talk about Aubrey, but in-game I heard chatter about back spasms, a bang to the knee and/or maybe ankle issues of her own. Fog of war, I guess, but it makes sense to be careful with her as well. Having both Aubrey and Mir available lets him keep a board crasher in for most of the game. If he's only got one of them, then he has to go smaller more often. [/QUOTE]
