Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4932809, member: 10435"] Just got home to North Jersey from Storrs a little while ago. Took 50 minutes to get out of the North garage. Seats were good section 221 center court. When Syracuse had the ball I basically watched Nika and Paige play defense as I always do. Nika held Fair to 2 points in the first half. Amazing job. In the second half, the wheels came off the wagon for her. I think Nika, Ice and Liyah were all exhausted and it showed in the ball handling for Ice and Liyah and in the meltdown for Nika in the second half with those 3 quick fouls, the last 2 of which were fatigue fouls and the last one of which was fatigue plus Nika's own loveable brand of being annoyed. It was an exhausting game and very predictable if you listen to Geno. He has said because we have such few players and can't rest them, that we run out of energy and go cold as a team and have those spells. It happened twice last night but each time we had Paige to right the ship. What a great player to be able to watch on both ends of the court. It was worth the 6 hours in the car to see her and the team and this game. When KK hit that 3 from the corner, it sounded like an outake from Oppenheimer. Glad we won. Nika, despite her assist record, would have been despondent. On to Port;and and Duke. [/QUOTE]
