Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 5130698, member: 26"] I believe the oddsmakers put UCONN as a favorite by 13.5 points. Just about what happened. And while my comments below are just my opinion, it should be noted that UCONN had the lead up to 17-3 with the original starters in, so even tho Kait, Ash and Ice had almost no scoring (6 total points between the 3 of them), if the goal was to get out fast and build a big lead, mission accomplished! IMHO Azzi should start sooner rather than later. I love Ash and while I think she brings a toughness and physicality that is a little better than any of our other guards, I think Azzi's scoring prowess is more valuable than Ash's toughness. Also, Azzi is shooting 18% on 3's this season (that will change soon). Yet she scored 18 against Ole miss with making only 1 three - showing she can score in many different ways. Also her defense, as many have noted, is really quite good. I don't see Geno swapping Azzi for Kaitlyn. I think he likes her as the 1 and Paige and Azzi/Ash off the ball. I think KC will continue to get better as she gets more comfort and chemistry with her teammates in finding them with the ball for assists. Believe it or not, Paige and Sarah are 1-2 in A/G while Kait is 3rd. Side note - Sarah has been everything we could have hoped for and more. She's tremendous in every aspect. Scoring, assists, rebounding, blocking, defending, just wow. I think it's much less likely that Jana supplants Ice as a starter. I think Jana has more upside, but Ice is a more well rounded player at this time, especially seeing the floor and dishing assists. Anyway the reason i made those comments based on David's OP was that while Q3 was horrible, it was the same 5 starters who busted the lead to 17-3 in Q1. Just a bad quarter (at least the first 5-6 minutes) all the way around. [/QUOTE]
