Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 4217892, member: 7171"] I was at the game - this was fuuuuun! What a pleasure to see Paige on the floor - she looked smooth and comfortable out there - and Azzi is just so, so good. And the true Aaliyah, the one we were expecting, has arrived. Saint John`s has some pretty good players but the run to start the game just took all the starch out of them. They were basically punching the time clock and waiting for the 5 o`clock whistle after that. The team is a mixture of younger players and veterans but the word that now comes to mind in watching and describing this team now is “maturity”. They have been through the ringer and have emerged as a tough, battle tested, gritty, efficient and workmanlike machine. And they had a ton of fun out there tonight, they love playing together. They play with purpose and emotion, but under control. The defense is aggressive and there were only a handful of breakdowns or missed assignments. I give them a shot at going all the way because they are fearless and they have grown up as a team. [/QUOTE]
