The starters need their minutes regardless if its a blow out or not.  If Geno and the coaching staff want his team to be the best conditioned team come tournament time, the starters need to play major minutes in every game.  Since most UConn games end up being easy wins, the starters start to go to the bench two or three minutes into the fourth quarter.  Starters aren't on the floor with four minutes left in the game unless the team is playing a Top 10 team.  Geno has tried to integrate Megan and lately Mikayla with the starters and the results have been mixed.  Megan had a couple of good games and then for whatever reason disappeared in many of the other games.  Mikayla has gotten minutes lately so we'll see how that turns out.  Kyla  has gotten minutes with the starters and her level of play is directly proportional to caliber of team UConn is playing. She knows what needs to happen on both ends of the court. However she's not the most athletic or instinctive player and that limits her minutes against Elite teams unless its a blow out.
