Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 4191664, member: 656"] A few weeks ago, I posted this here or a different site. Obviously, something (many things?) has changed. Yesterday, they started looking like the UConn of lore What happened? 1. It always helps to have a dependable shooter; it spreads the D leaves space in the middle to run stuff. Azzi's coming out was more significant than Caroline's loss...and it puts points on the board. 2. Aside from Azzi, Aaliyah had an almost perfect game, shooting well aggressive, tough D, rebounding, making bunnies, confident, disrupting She is a force to be reckoned with when she plays like that 3. The passing was so crisp, the ball moving like lightning (at times) and with intent. The first I've seen all season. 4. One could see discernible plays, mainly to get Azzi free, with double (triple?) screens...and it works. And her pick and roll to Olivia was wonderful 5. I imagine that the team, if not scared stiff, was concerned enough to fully embrace the coaching, that the staff is more than willing to impart...It showed. 6. (maybe not so positive) reality...I theorized (not particularly popular) that the homegrown seniors were not necessarily the key to this teams success...Christyn and Olivia certainly contribute mightily especially in the 3rd period, but the changing of the guard may have tentatively begun. 7. As more than one of our young woman expressed last night, this team has the potential to be Nasty. [/QUOTE]
