These are the AG facts!

it sounds to me like AG is beginning to show the coaches what they want to see in practice more consistently but has not yet transferred it into game play. If that is true I think it is very encouraging. I believe everyone sees the incredible potential in Aubrey’s game if she develops those areas of her game that are currently keeping her on the bench. I still think we will see just how awesome she can be at some point. I just hope the light comes on sooner rather than later. I can’t resist asking though, who you would bet on in a game of horse between CW and AG?

If AG could shoot..dribble or pass the ball in offensive sets she would get more playing time..with her limited basketball skills i think getting 18 mins or so on the #1 team in the nation is about right

Yes, Geno is a great coach because he knows how to get the most out of his players. I like AG’s energy as much as the next person but I also know her limitations, especially when compared to what her teammates bring to the game, so I think she is being used correctly, a tremendous short burst off the bench. We think 6th off the bench as being a single player but great teams have several players who fit that category. UConn is such a team. Appreciate AG for what she does. I certainly do.

Yes CW has been a streaky shooter for 3 yrs. but she averaged 17.4 points a game in the big dance 2 yrs ago including 19 against ND in the final 4..so Geno knows how important she is

That was a long time ago. Is it not prudent to also think that she may not perform to that level since she hasn't shown it in two years?

She is important no doubt. If she can play defense as well as she did against Marquette, then it isn't as imperative that she shoot really well but the cold spells when she misses shot after shot is a worry. When we shot well, including CW(I think she had 9 pts in the first quarter in the first quarter against Marquette, we scored 29 but then CW ) went cold the rest of the game and some of her teammates cooled off as well, so we only scored 44 the rest of the way.

Hopefully, CW can keep playing defense like she did against Marquette and avoid the cold spell she had for 3 quarters of the championship game.

To be fair, it was fascinatingly bad.

But yet you are still adding to it...

I'm taking AG in a game of one on one.
