Real depth is a wonderful and meaningful asset for any team to have. As you stated, last year, UConn had none. Dangerfield and Butler, that was it. Geno and staff knew the short comings and limitations of that team. That's why he kept saying early in the season, that a big loss would serve that team well. He was right. But that loss came too late. The timing could not have been worse.

That's why he just smiled after the final buzzer against Miss St, because he knew that team over achieved all year, and they came within two games of pulling off a very improbable run.

At the beginning of the season, few envisioned UConn even getting to the final four, let alone arriving there undefeated. Most of UConn's OOC games should be decided midway through the 4th quarter. As you said, I also expect the bench to see limited spot duty during the first 13 games. Camara and Dangerfield/Stevens (which ever of these two that does not start) will be the 6th & 7th man off the bench. The bench players will cut their teeth on conference games. Barring injury, this year's team should live up to its expectations, and the NC should be UConn's for the taking.
