Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5130396, member: 9844"] I appreciate the statistical comparisons. From almost any analysis of overall statistics, Jana has been clearly superior to Ice. Does she make more mistakes and sometimes force things or try to do too much? Absolutely, and that is mainly what keeps her behind Ice thus far. Geno uses playing time to teach and weed out bad habits, but it is noteworthy in the last game against a very good opponent Jana played two more minutes than Ice. Of course Ole Miss was killing us on offensive boards, so Jana was the obvious solution. There are two areas where I think Jana has a big edge over Ice and it shows in the stats. The most obvious is rebounding, where the difference is huge. The other is volume scoring. Ice can be a pretty efficient scorer but doesn't seek out the ball in the post much. Jana wants the ball down low and has a much higher usage rate. If Jana reduces the mistakes even just a little, she will be the obvious choice to start because she has so much more upside. The same is true for Azzi as she seems ready to join the starting lineup soon as well. In time I think the main question will be who the 5th starter will be between Kaitlin, Ashlynn, KK and Ice, with Aubrey being a possibility too when she returns. [/QUOTE]
