That is my concern as well. The starters do a good job of it on their own but it really kicks into gear when Aubrey comes in. Not sure what they'll do without her but I can only hope Geno thinks of something.
Interesting ! Her injury looked different than the non-contact ACL / MCL injuries we've unfortunately seen so often, where the injured are often able to walk off nearly unassisted. Her injury seemed more dynamic and profound; I've never seen someone grab for their knee while still in mid-flight as if her entire knee joint had popped out. Hopefully your experience may prove relevant.
Absolutely MSGRET. Until the UCONN Medical Staff make the call, it aint called... even for those who stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
And well you should. I have a more negative view, having had my knee blown out in a Div 1 Lacrosse game.
I agree, outside of Geno’s tree Flanery is one I root for.
Agree but believe that Q comes in at many positions and once she plays a more consistent role her focus will improve.
Can't say anyone on Creighton played or coached well.
Against most teams, UConn should be able to sustain this level of performance. Few teams can match UConn's intensity - rarely will the Huskies need to go at this speed the entire game. Teams like SC are much bigger so the strategy may need to be different. I worry as much about having enough players (10) to have full practices. Maybe giving some of these high performers a bit more rest is not a bad thing.
Her pull-up jumper reminds me of Bria and Sue
I believe she still has her COVID year.
I've been praying for Paige to stay healthy all season and added prayer for Aubrey to be OK.
I believe that this year is “technically” Aubrey’s Covid year. But Aubrey can petition the NCAA for another year for the one she missed due to back surgery and another year after that if she ends up missing more than half of the current season because of her knee.
I watched the illegal screen a handful of times and Ice didn't look late to me and she looked set enough, but she caught the defender with her leg so maybe her base was too wide. She was also the second screener of a staggered screen and had more than enough time to set a proper screen. Meg probably missed these and was too quick to call out Paige for it.
Point taken. But I would suggest that it’s not Clark’s “shooting ability” which is exceptional, but more accurately her “shot selection” which is not always the best. Clearly, Clark has the green light from her HC to take over the game and shoot the ball whenever she wants. I have seen several games where she starts to press, maybe stops looking for her teammates and starts firing away with shots that are questionable, even for Clark.
