Message: [QUOTE="Gus Mahler, post: 2104903, member: 6072"] Allow me to clarify: I'm not concerned about her defensive ability. In fact, she's getting better and better with the active hands--she's gotten her hands on, or almost did, a lot of passes lately. I'm talking about a (slight) concern with Saniya handling the Syracuse press. That's based on last year's championship game in which she was inserted into the game cold in the second half and made a couple of turnovers against the press. Geno then famously roared "See, you just can't trust her," or some such. So she got pulled. As [USER=6183]@Kaizen[/USER] rightly points out, she's a different player this year. But of course she is human and she may have some lingering doubts in her head based on last year's memories. Of course I hope that's not the case and that she not only plays a key role in breaking the press but also in attacking it and scoring off the drive and the spot up. [/QUOTE]
