Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 3918389, member: 73"] The Will to Win is contagious. You can see it in this team. Geno has taught and all they know is what theyve been taught. Nika has the guts and look in her eyes when defending an opponent on defense. You can see it and so can the offensive player. A steal or too or even a deflection results in hesitance in an opponents mind. This attitude has infected the team and everybody especially those vying for more play time play with a mission. Paige well what can you say. Defenses are just waiting for her and what shes gonna do next. Paige is at another level. Defenses guard her to keep her from scoring and she continues to get others involved in the game. Then when you least expect it, when you leave her open for just a second bingo she scores. A facilitator that can make you pay no matter how you play her. Christyns confidence has given UConn a defender who is consistent with her biggest test coming up. Christyns scorer has added another double digit scorer in the books. Liv and Edwards have come a long way. They will play a huge part in the how far UConn goes. Liv with her shot blocking presence and Edwards who has become and scorer. Evina is the glue. Her attitude and the respect she receives from her team mates keeps this young team focused. UConn has arrived. Griff adds athletism and speed. There are two types of people in the world. Those who think they can and those who think they cant....and theyre both right UConn is playing at a very confident level and will continue to roll over opponents. I dont think theyve been given enough credit and not respected as I feel they should be. Media people and fans still think there are other teams who can win the NC and there maybe but for me, with what I see, UConn is the team to beat. Hey they could have an off nite and foul trouble and injuries could hurt them but if they stay healthy and out of foul trouble I dont see them getting beat because they have the will to win.
