Message: [QUOTE="and one, post: 4267925, member: 10475"] Most years there is a predictable development by a team. The first month integrates returning starters with new starters, shows who had made progress from last year and gives a glimpse of what the freshmen or transfers can contribute in the coming season. By January and the start of the meat of the in- conference schedule the lineup is mostly set and we fans have a long stretch to see how the 6 to 8 player rotation play. This year, given co-vid cancellations and reschedules and more importantly injuries, we didn't get to see one lineup through the season but rather a series of patchwork lineups that morphed as players came and went due to injuries. It's only been the last 10 games or so that we've seen the lineup of a fully healthy team and even that is now compromised by the injury Dorka sustained against NC State. There have been upsides to watching how different players reacted to playing in patchwork lineups, which were ready to do more than expected and how players could adjust to the evolving rotations. But...regardless of how this team does in the next one or two games, even if they win the NC, I feel that I never got the chance to really get to know this team. Too bad because the team as it is now (including Dorka) would have been so fun to watch for a full season. Hopefully next year will be more normal. That said, I'm so psyched to see how this team can handle Stanford and, hopefully, SC. Given the circumstances it is amazing we got this far and I look forward to seeing more amazing stuff happen.
