Not worried about turnovers at this stage.....they are simply eager to share the ball as they move around. As time and play go on, they will learn when not to be too adventurous with the pass, how to tidy up their walks, and how to make sure the opponents can't take the ball away from them so easily. The spirit of player movement and sharing the ball has taken root quickly and the level of assisted baskets is rather incredible as this game attests. They will learn that a few less assists will keep the opponents from scoring off their mistakes....but current their attitude and goal are really, really sensational.
As trends are showing, will we:
1) Say, Aliyah who? about Boston....and joyfully declare, Aaliyah Edwards, take a bow!!!!
2) See Nika set a record for assists? If this trend continues, definitely a new record is coming at UConn where a parade of excellent point guards have tread....it's a very long line and some HOFers among them.
3) See Nika keep that 3pt shooting up? Imagine: adding her to Azzi, Lou, Caroline with a sprinkling of Aubrey and Dorka dropping 3s?
4) Continue to see the coaches immerse Ines in the thick of the game more in Big East games? 4 assists in 11 (?) minutes is doing wonders for her confidence.
5) Continue to see Caroline becoming more herself as the games go on? Choose your poison time is coming and the scariest time this year still to come when Azzi returns. Imagine how it will be next year?
