Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 3393637, member: 3834"] Clearly, Olivia was simply overwhelmed with the magnitude of the moment. However, in her defense, she was already in a bit of a slump, and imo was lacking confidence just when she needed it most. The player I was disappointed in was Megan. This was a game , the game, for her to step up and affirm herself as the “go to” leader on this team! However, it was Williams who seemed to be the leader, who tried to will the team to victory and who was fearless and aggressive! Meg seemed tentative and just ...intimidated! Chrystal seemed to have a moment, (I think in the second half, where she got p****d and really started playing like a senior leader. However, again imo, it seemed as if those two, Williams and (to some extent) Danger, were the only players who didn’t seem intimidated!! I mean, Meghan at least was able to contribute something, but she and everyone else seemed like deer in headlights! That, more than anything, alarms me! In the immortal words of Ike Clancy in Tombstone, (paraphrased) “ Being intimidated just don’t go round here! “ UConn is the intimidator! Geno has a lot of work to do! This team just doesn’t have the swagger of a great team! I believe they can still become one, but first they have to start thinking, acting, and playing with some attitude! [/QUOTE]
