I think you are onto the issue.  Geno has, naturally, had to play the starting 6 for most of most games.  He needs them to get into a rhythm and develop a feel ( and trust ) for each other.  When a bench player gets in for 4-6 minutes, at most, it is pretty hard to do much that will "demand" more court time.  Walker has played biggest in the biggest moments, but she must not be performing consistently in practice.  I have no basis for this comment, other than that is the rhetoric which always comes out of the mouths of former UConn players; " you earn court time in practice. "  But even that has limits, given the quality of the starting 6.  I mean if Molly practices better than anyone, is Crystal going to sit down?  I don't think ( barring injury ) there is any room for the bench players in most games, no matter how well they work in practice.  In fact,  when the NCAA tourney gets beyond the preliminary rounds, we shall likely see only 6 players.  And we all know who they are.  Next year, the doors open a lot wider.
