Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 4256511, member: 1131"] Regarding Caroline ... It is noteworthy that in her 4 minutes of PT against UCF, she got 2 wide-open layup opportunities. Who else can say that? Her positioning was flawless, and the physical play didn't seem to bother her. It appeared to me that she was active (perhaps hyperactive) all over the court, i.e., she was her usual self at the defensive end, looking for opportunities to pick off passes and start the break. But then she missed those two layups. I think Geno's diagnosis was hyperactivity disorder, basically the same syndrome as Nika. That kind of play can have good effects, but it can also have bad effects if the activity is undisciplined. I can imagine Geno deciding that this was a game where discipline was required, which is why Evina got a lot of minutes despite not being as aggressive as some other players. She also didn't do anything stupid, and may have contributed to the victory in that way. In another game (say, Indiana, who plays sound basketball but does not try to create mayhem), both Nika and CD may get more minutes, and may create some positive mayhem that disrupts Indiana's orderly play. After watching Indiana play Princeton, they remind me of Marquette in their style of play, but the Hoosiers have more talented scorers than Marquette. That is a team that UConn should be well-configured to play against. However, I would still like to be able to call her Caroline Ducharme on this forum. (If that sentence contains Caroline's full name, it is because an automatic text substitution has been applied to Boneyard posts so that "Caroline Ducharme" is not seen. I wish I understood why.
