Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3319678, member: 1131"] Yes, I live in Connecticut and attend almost every home game. However, pizza is not my favorite dish. Now, if you were talking about wings, then ... You are right that Aubrey may fit into the Nykesha Sales mode and come off the bench, although we have to bear in mind that Anna is also a freshman, albeit a more experienced one. See observation #1 below. Here are a couple of somewhat related observations after watching the replay: 1. I noticed only on the replay that Aubrey seemed to be sucking for wind in the second half. On one occasion in particular, she was struggling to get back on defense and was being beaten by an opponent who can't be nearly as fast as she is when both are fresh. So she may have stamina issues which (if correct) will certainly limit her minutes and may prevent her from starting. 2. I noticed that Geno always played a zone defense when Evelyn was in the game. She was parked under the basket so that she rarely had to move. It reminded me of Kaili McLaren. That may explain why she is last off the bench -- her mobility may prevent her from playing man-to-man defense unless the other team has a player of equally limited mobility. This may be something that she can work on, but I don't think she was ever expected to move her feet on defense at her previous schools to the degree that she must in UConn's man-to-man. [/QUOTE]
