Message: [QUOTE="boontonbomber, post: 4159970, member: 384"] I don't see much emotion from this team (except for the fiery Nika), and they don't appear to be having much fun. I wonder if the seniors are just worn down, worn out, and discouraged. They came to UConn to win titles. First 2 seasons don't work out. They had a real chance last year, but no dice. So, going into this season they have everyone back, plus some highly touted frosh. Whoa, what's not to be excited about. THEN it hits the fan: more of a covid mess; injuries to key players- season ending for the very important Aubrey, who knows what with Paige, and Nika and Azzi just can't get beyond nagging problems. I also think that having 2 players up and leave has some effect on everybody (coaches included), especially when they look over at the bench and all they see are players not dressed, and two 6'5" players who haven't instilled much confidence in the coaches yet. For the sake of the three seniors, I hope things get better, that they will be encouraged to see players return, and they will get back to competing and enjoying the game. They are 3 really good players, and I expect that they are disappointed with themselves at the moment. I would hate to see them go out that way. Without Paige, not sure they can go all the way, but they certainly can make a run. [/QUOTE]
