Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4820716, member: 3535"] I am hopeful too in terms of a wish. I'm not optimistic but definitely can hope. I'm just going to enjoy what they do without the expectation. I even believe they are going to have big trouble in the Big East. IMO step 1 is Paige has to be great [B]on both ends.[/B] Step 2 is Aaliyah has to be great [B]on both ends.[/B] So I agree Defense is a big key (as is Offense) as you point out, They just can't be great at one end. I fear though some fans (not you - you are an excellent poster. I love reading your posts.) are going to believe that if Geno plays them quite a bit then their trajectory will be an automatic improvement by season's end. That's not how it works. I'm hopeful as well that fans won't look to crush the freshmen unnecessarily. Even Nika and Aubrey. -- They were supposed to have scoring - not have to be relied upon to be a top scorer in-the-game-in-the-moment when scoring is needed. [/QUOTE]
