She seems more confident compared to last season. Also, it seems Geno is confident having her out there too.
I appreciate the write up but I think it is very shortsighted on Kayleigh. 12 points on 50% shooting, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, and 6 steals. 6. That means she was responsible for 18 points and 8 changes of possession. Subtract the 2 turnovers and you still have a net 6 possessions. Only Sarah had more with 7. Focusing on one or two mistakes in the flow misses the point about her. She had an excellent game. She is rapidly becoming the third player on the team who can create her own shot. Her defense is very anticipatory and opportunistic. We are very lucky to have her.
UConn rarely gets beaten.........when they lose, it's because they beat themselves with subpar play.......I could see them having some difficulty with Michigan, Tennessee, USC or Notre Dame although if they play well, none of those teams will beat them.....
That's part of the equation to her subpar performance for sure
Things will be fixed. There hasn't been a team in any sport, future champs included, that are in top form in game #2.
Definitely possible. Very impressive performance today. A natural UCONN player.
Well, the fourth quarter was really rough. If Strong and Fudd keep this up, the remainder of the players can be role players.
I'm going to go one step further about Ash/Allie/ Caroline. I have always thought that Ash is a much greater weapon off the bench like last year and that is the best role for her for this team. Microwave offense when she is on, sneaky offensive rebounding, and solid hustle and D. Honestly, Allie played really well today but Caroline looked really good too. She had 5 points and should have had 8 but a 3 was taken away, 6 boards and two assists in 10 minutes. She is also a much better rebounder at 6' 2+"than either one. I think she should be part of the regular rotation. She is a strong and serious senior leader and sets up a play really well. I would like to see her play 20 minutes in a game just to find out. It may be coming.
That has to change. It is the close outs that are not happening.
Season average its FSU third game of the year
Agree with you on most what you said. Agree, Shade better start shooting better or Allie will be starting. Only disagree on one thing. FSU will not win many games.
She is a marvel and master of cutting toward the basket. Her nose for the ball is amazing. I love her quick first step and sense of the clock. Her being a serious third scoring option is very apparent. We have a couple of the best guards in women's basketball.
I'm not sure that anyone would argue that a 100% Caroline would be the best option at the 3. If she keeps building consistently from this game, she could be the starting SF by the end of the season. This was the first time I've thought that. Before this game, I just thought she would be a happy warrior learning how to be a coach this year.
She looked the best she has since the injuries. That pass to Ice was a special play.
That's a good point about Caroline. She knows where to be and when. Great position to rebound and she knows the offense better than anyone.
I don't know if that would be the case, but I think it would be a good bet that she'll be on the watch list for the Nancy Lieberman Award.
Serah is trying to find her place to shoot instead of shooting from the place she is in. I hope it stops. The one time she went up for a jump shot instead of a lay up it was perfect. You are 6'4" and strong. Just go straight up. Get fouled. This isn't rocket science.
That's pretty, pretty good in its own right. Love her game.
That’s cause she has “Strong hands”! Her hands are just unbelievable! I always thought Paige had/has good hands (and she does) but Sarah’s are on a different level. I’ve probably said this before but I don’t think I’ve ever seen her equal.
