If nothing else, after this game, this team (and Geno) now know what type of "grit" they have. This team passed a lot of tests and overcame some adversity today. Games like this either builds character or reveals it.
I think you picked up on my sarcasm.
No doubt! LOL...It also revealed MY lack of character as I predicted doom when UCONN fell behind by 11 points.If nothing else, after this game, this team (and Geno) now know what type of "grit" they have.

And I am mad and disappointed that Holly didn't know by the time that the game started that Nika was not feeling well and didn't give us a 5 minute update after every tv commercial.

I haven’t watched a sporting event with the sound on more than a few times in decades so I know who Holly Rowe is but I’m not sure I’ve ever heard her. But I sure as heck know Del Griffith; John Candy’s car scene to Ray Charles’ “Mess Around” is one of my all time favorite movie scenes. And now I know Rowe’s style without ever hearing her…..thanks for the laugh!!
We'll see.
So true. A healthy Caroline is a matchup nightmare for nearly every team in the country. She cuts well, has length, can shoot the 3, etc. We saw it against SC in the NC game and again today against Iowa. Can’t wait to see how Carol comes along as her fitness levels catch up.
What a fun game! Hats off to UConn: clearly the more talented team, even though not at full strength.
That was me. Lou was not slated to start ahead of Caroline. Caroline started some games last year. She has been experiencing neck stiffness since the start of the season. Lou was substituted for Lou and has done an OUTSTANDING job. She fir right in. Lou is use to starting. She started at Fairfield for 4 years. The deeper they get into the schedule, the easier it will become for Lou. Caroline may be ready to be placed back into the starting line up soon. Lou will probably then become the 6th man.
I did!! I thought UConn would handle them with more ease than they did. I certainly did not expect a single digit win. I predicted a 12 point MOV.
But looking at some of the predictions in the prognosticators thread, so did a lot of others.and to think that i was mocked, mocked i say! for pointing out that our offensive wonderfulness will make teams turn to zone, in desperation.
Are you sure that wasn't just wishful thinking on your part, given your unrelenting disparagement of Nika?
When Caroline is ready, she should be starting again. Same with Dorka. But it really shouldn’t matter as Aubrey and Lou will get plenty of play, depending on the flow of the game.
Yes. Aubrey and Paige will both have 2 extra years of eligibility. Nika and Aaliyah will each have 1 extra.
They are both superstars in their own right and their teams’ offenses require different things from them. Azzi has enough support around her to be a star within the UConn system of motion offense. On the other hand, Clark IS the Iowa system and their offense largely depends on her ability to create.
Yes! Clutch UConn game indeed! Azzi, Caroline, Lou, Nika, the whole team just played clutch when the moment called for it. Great game. These are the kinds of games, against top 10 teams, where a team's confidence is made or broken, and it could carry a team in other big games during the season. Just a great performance by everyone. Strength in Numbers.
nope. teams have different styles. there's no reason for there NOT to be a disparity,
Geno sitting Aubrey half the 3rd and the 4th and keeping Caroline in was a key. Aubrey unfortunately was not good, yes 10 points but out of position on defense let the player she was guarding get open looks. She was
I think Aubrey and Paige both have the option of the Covid year as 20-21 athletes. o if I'm right they have a redshirt Junior year, senior year and Covid year without impacting the roster size. If Geno can put up with Paige another year.
