Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4257875, member: 10435"] I'm not suggesting Geno does get pushed around. He said" I don't know how she can stay there( referring to Nika in the starting lineup) because ...Paige, if I leave her on the bench..." I didn't misread the quote. You can interpret it how you want to, it's pretty clear to me that he was signaling that Nika wasn't starting anymore, which she hasn't. He also cited Paige as the reason using the word "because". I don't think it matters to Nika at all. I just like her in the starting lineup but I can see how he wanted to make sure he had offense against UCF. Nika brings intense defensive pressure and energy right away. She may play more against Indiana because I don't suspect that the need for offense will be the deciding factor because we should be able to score more easily off of them than UCF. Either way, the main thing is that the lineup out there wins games and that was the case against UCF. He knew he needed points and he got 25 between Paige and Azzi. I hope these extra 4 days of rest really help Paige. It's tough to play a game like UCF on 1 days rest. I don't think everyone understands how difficult this has been for her. She is a true warrior.
