It’s allowed her to do more things on the floor. She understands that in order to have any chance to play and be contributing, she has to be able to do that.” In fact, the challenge is harnessing Bent’s energy. “If we can just get her to slow down,” Auriemma said. “She just goes 100 mph.” Sounds like she suffers from the Jefferson Syndrome. This year? Bent sees a difference. She has worked with assistant coach Shea Ralph on reading plays. “Not to say that I’m not making mistakes, but you definitely feel more confident, you definitely feel more composed a little bit, just because not everything is new anymore,” Bent said. “So you can at least try to slow down and try to read the game as opposed to being worried about, Am I doing the right thing?
