You're memory is that good? I didn't remember that there was no handshake because my memory is there was a lot of waving at the other team last year because of COVID. It was all from a distance wasn't it? I don't remember any handshake lines last season. They're lucky they got the season in.
Me too! Obviously, Geno has lost all confidence in her. Yes, she missed two bunnies (so-to-speak), but no one on the team played a perfect game.
Some of us have said all along that when the going got tough players 8 and 9 on the depth chart would not be out there but over and over it was discounted. Well we did see didn't we. What Geno says and what he does are not always the same. He was MOTIVATING his players. All of them. He needs all of them but against the top teams he needs his best out there. This was a tough match for the young players especially. Imagine walking into that game.
ooh, ooh, pick me! pick me! i know!
So he should have pulled the players who helped get them up by double digits? What coach would do that?
Lotta errors tonight by Geno including the inability to break a simple press .. I mean how many times did we dribble over the half-court line and pick up our dribble .. that's a cardinal sin in 4th-grade CYO ball. And why did we not take advantage of our vaunted depth [that had been working so well]
Or just maybe he chose to play his best players. Caroline missed two easy bunnies. It wasn't her night. He needed scoring and that's not Nika's game. He's going to continue to need scoring. We can't beat a top 10 team with 4 players on the offensive side.
Could be worse....ala Jim Beoheim
No, but she might have fouled a three point shooter. And these refs were calling fouls on anything close.
That still doesn’t mean it isn’t the wrong strategy. If you think 1 through 7 got tough when the going got tough you watched a different game than me.
In defense of Caroline she did miss one layup, but the other was an over-the-shoulder, back to the basket shot. That's hardly a layup! We've seen her make these numerous times this season and we expect her to be perfect. She isn't and never will be, nor is anyone else on the team.
Dorka's biggest weakness is finishing in traffic. She NEEDS TO LIFT WEIGHTS.
And he didn’t get scoring from his scorers, so I guess scoring wasn’t their game tonight. And to suggest Muhl is a non-entity on offense is nonsense.
Kind of feels like picking at nits. The team went up by 12 and UCF called a timeout. I'm sure Geno's thinking the group he had out there which built up the lead and knowing Geno he hoped they would extend it. UCF hit one more open 3 after that timeout. I think that was EW's mistake. I was sure glad Williams was out there to make those 2 FTs.
Caroline missed some easy chippies right after Geno put her in, and he then quickly yanked her for good reason. I think she sat the whole game after she came out.
They where terrible! Why do they have all these announcers that don't shut up for a minute, So annoying.
"vulnerable"
No .. when the shooter hesitated in her motion, at least two of her teammates stepped into the lane, eh?
