christyn has had this 'funk' problem -- more like extreme inconsistency -- for 2+ years now. she knows it. the coaches know it. they all know she has had streaks of brilliance, and then times of what he hell? it is frustrating to everyone.
christyn and the coaches for sure have been trying to find the fix, and haven't succeeded -- not for lack of trying or desire, ya know.
it's likely she'll 'pull out of it' this time as she has in the past, but that's not a permanent fix -- and that's what christyn needs. and i doubt that at this point she can figure it out by herself, or that the coaching staff will figure it out. they're great, but not infallible.
she'll need some outside help or there'll be no change. some people don't conquer. and it doesn't depend of her -- she's trying. she needs an assist.

Me too! We know she wears glasses. I assume that the team or Christyn would have that checked, but who knows?!

She struggled last year too when Paige was in high school so sorry...can't blame Paige for this either.

Paige was born for pressure. She thrives on it. Paige is a thoroughbred. Macon had a bad game against a tremendous Duke team that I believe they beat earlier in the year. I think he was good his entire career. He was a superb defender. Also, wasn’t he a high first round pick?
Geno wants Paige to shoot more; and, she has been these last three or four games.
That has created a problem for the other three guards, Evina, Nika and Christyn, to a lesser extent for Aubrey, and it will extend to Anna when she comes back.
Inadvertently they've gone away from "take the open shot" mentality to get more shots for Paige.
When they miss a shot, they have to be wondering if Paige shouldn't have taken that shot; and, what is Geno thinking. And so they hesitate; then, either pass it off or take a hurried shot as their defended has closed space.
At the minute what works best for them is to try to get to the rim where there are blameless options - you know make the basket, get fouled or dish. Last game, where was the room to do that with a high low post going on. Result: last game Christyn had zero points; previous game it was Evina.
It's NOT a major problem and will be resolved over the next few games.

i've always liked cw for one main reason - her will. she always shot a line drive knuckleball, but you could count on her 'slasher' offensive mindset.
now, it seems to me that she has lost her will. why? idk. i reasonably expect her to take stock of reality, make peace with it as career move (ie, get to the next level), and rediscover her resolve in order to make that happen.

It is part of human nature...it probably bothers her and her teammates will help.

What's human nature is for people to make things up and then say it's "human nature."

So it would have been okay if UCONN lost to Tenn because Tenn isn't a big game? Its okay for UCONN to lose these type of games?
I was at the game at the Meadowlands and Macon got off good shot after good shot against Duke all day. He was off, shot terribly, but by the eye test Billy King had little to nothing to do with it. In fact, Macon took around thirty shots and never came out of the game but just kept missing.

And it's what you did. If you can do it, can't I? We can all make things up, right? They don't have to be true. Just make things up.
