Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4798533, member: 3535"] Not sure your points in bold mean the same thing. A great season also includes a championship. UCONN could have a great season even without a title. But if we're talking "title" -- the chances that three freshmen, and two unproven sophomores are going to make it all the way through - in which by their youth we can expect inconsistency- I find the chances extremely minimal. The only thing is -- UCONN has Paige -- and Aaliyah for scoring that can be relied upon night-in-and-night-out for the Tourney. Another consistent scorer is key. And we can throw Nika in the mix as to trying to score. Anyhow, Geno is starting Caroline for a reason. He is hoping that she can be a consistent scorer which this team desperately needs now. I guess whether Caroline is key or not -- at least a 3rd reliable scorer would be extremely extremely helpful whoever that may be. Musical chairs could work but that would be relying on just random luck game-to-game in Tourney. Heck, last year we saw Azzi miss everything in 1st half vs Iowa and hit everything in 2nd half. Ofc you didn't give up on Azzi but the freshmen, are more volatile from shot to shot never mind quarter to quarter and half-to-half vs high quality teams. Also, there has been such worry over height and size which was understandable and now UCONN is even more susceptible because they have a slimmer margin to "shoot their way" past it. Now on off nights UCONN is going to have a much tougher time even with the Nova's, Marquette’s, and Creighton's etc. They are going to pack the paint and dare everyone but Paige to shoot from the perimeter.
