Agree. I love watching her play defense live. You can actually see the brain working.Paige is fantastic as defender too- much quicker than opponents realize, long arms, she's got it all

Having half of the team steals [4 of 8] is some pretty excellent defense and instant offense with her "open field speed" and outstanding finish at the rim. I keep thinking she will dunk some of them soon (three times on Monday, I thought she would "THROW DOWN!"). Always thrilled for her on the fast break...Aubrey?
It's the holiday season I was being charitable!No. CD played Ines and she did well. As soon as Geno returned, she got very little playing time. If she can't get playing time when the team is up by 28 with four minutes to play, why is she on the team? When UConn needed a backup guard she gave up a chance to go to a school where she would probably get a chance to start. If she is playing well in practice, why not give her more minutes than she is getting in blowout games, at least five minutes?
If all they blew was 2 or 3 calls, then they called a really good game. Think of how many calls were made. It was probably more than two or three. Kantner can't call a game with only 2 or 3 bad calls.
"That's the fact, Jack!"I like the new optimism in the 'Yard! Geno has whipped us into shape.
Ash was 2 for 12 (16.7%) in the first five games she played from beyond the arc mainly coming off the bench; 11 for 28 (just under 40%) since she has been starting.One good game? Even though Ashlynn is 6th on the team in minutes played she has:
8.2 points per game (5th on team)
Is 2nd in 3 point attempts, tied for 3rd in three pointers made
Has 11 assists and only 6 turnovers, 1.83 A:TO
Only 11 fouls in 10 games
The ball doesn’t get stuck in her hand and she doesn’t need much time at all to set her feet. That pull up j was apparent early on and it’s a weapon that this team desperately needs. The kid has the mindset of a shooter - misses don’t seem to bother her - something that’s remarkable in a freshman.
