Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2582854, member: 1131"] One further observation about one of the less heralded members of the UConn roster (and I’m not even sure why I noticed it, but I did): For someone whom you might expect to be mopey because she is at the end of the bench and knows it, Lexi Gordon ALWAYS has a smile on her face! It was noticeable at yesterday’s practice that she was at the back of the line (and bending over to catch her breath) when any sprinting was involved, but it didn’t seem like anyone was having more fun at the practice. When she was (mercifully) on the sidelines watching other players do a drill, she was constantly joking with teammates. She seemed determined to tease and heckle the male practice players. When one of them took and made three free throws that Geno gave him after one of the women players fouled him on a 3-point attempt, Lexi was standing at the back of the lane making noises and waving her hands at him as he was shooting. Near the end of the practice, doing a defensive drill, Lexi took a charge by a male player. For a second, her teammates looked concerned as they pulled her back to her feet, but that ended as soon as they saw how proud she was to have taken the charge and stopped the play. Her smile as she stood up was ear to ear. [/QUOTE]
