Some serious off season work is in order.Actually 7 UCONN players in the game...unfortunately, Ayanna didn't do anything to contribute on the stat sheet, so she isn't listed there.

Yes my mistake, 7 players. I was hoping to see Ines comes with some minutes.Actually 7 UCONN players in the game...unfortunately, Ayanna didn't do anything to contribute on the stat sheet, so she isn't listed there.
Yes, Kaizen. However, UConn had Ines on the bench who has shown she can be trusted against teams better than Marquette but for some reason, Geno did not play her. He did not play her against Creighton when they were up by thirty until very late in the game. He should not be complaining about players being tired.We have only
Yes, with only 6 players in today's game.
I really don’t think this will continue to happen when you had two players who have scored 30 points this season back into the rotation. You’ll have 3 players starting who need to be doubled to stop them from scoring.Sometimes against good teams we really struggle to score. Lou had to work hard for her points but we lacked that 2nd scorer until Caroline stepped up. We are going to keep seeing this but if Caroline and Aubrey can give us 10-15 points we can pull through most games against top teams. They clog the middle and do their best to shut down Lou. We had Caroline today fortunately, who was the real player of the game today. These girls are dog tired though playing a tough opponent with basically 5 players.
Gotta agree with you. To me it also seemed that the last couple minutes of each quarter, the players that had played the whole quarter were running on fumes...but they were still running!!! The next three games could see the same thing as there isn't going to be a lot of time to rest. Maybe, just maybe, Azzi will get some minutes and Aubrey will be cleared to go and the games will return to "normal". I liked this game, things were harder than the Creighton game but everyone played their butt off and we earned a hard fought win.I gotta disagree, rather vehemently, Eric. This team was exhausted. In the first quarter, on a close up of Lou, she was red faced and gasping for air. I think they were fabulous given the pushing, grabbing defense and short bench.
Don't tell Geno that. Did you hear what he said after the game?One of the most impressive parts of Caroline’s game is her defense. She contests a lot of shots. She’s also rebounding well. It seems like she is really helping the team defense though most of all even when her shot isn’t falling.
Ines has 7 stitches in her forehead. She would have been in jeopardy playing against this team.Yes, Kaizen.

Does she make any more than some of the starters? If she played more maybe she would make less.Geno doesn’t play Inez because of turnovers. She will get better in that regard over time. He just can’t afford to take Nika out of the game right now.
No I didn’t. I watched on a cellphone.Don't tell Geno that. Did you hear what he said after the game?
You have my sympathies. I've watched games on my cellphone. That's one step away from not watching it at all. Hopefully you can watch the replay when posted in the boneyard later today. Happy new year TeamFirst.No I didn’t. I watched on a cellphone.
It didn’t make sense vs this defenseDoes she make any more than some of the starters? If she played more maybe she would make less.
