Kiah Stokes was the only player not to appear for#UConnwomen and Geno said he was frustrated with her about five times.

Check this out. Box score shows nova scored 33 of its 49 on 3 pointers, Uconn scored 30 of its 72 points off of 3 pointers. Nice inside and outside balance against a very hard team to play. 100 per cent more turnovers for nova then their average . Nova will give many teams heartburn this season. They do not quit passing, limit possessions, do not foul, and can light it up from anywhere!!!! Uconn was 10 of 20 from 3 at 50 per cent for game.

Gosh, based on Stef's apparent regression to first half of last season shape and lackluster play, and with Kiah in the doghouse again, we are suddenly being transformed from having to sort out which bigs to play to not having enough that we want or can have on the floor. Maybe we better get used to seeing that 4 and 5 guard lineup?

And Heather isn't offensive enough to play? Hope all this playing time is getting her ready if we need her against Duke or Baylor. Of course, can go with Faris at center like last year against ND with Maya. Remember how that worked.
Why make Dolson into something she is not, we are going to lose what she can do. Stef is not capable of being the center of the offensive scheme any more than Jessica Moore. He has Dolson playing terrible, Heather can't get in cause she isn't offensive enough and now Kiah doesn't know how to practice.
Hmmmmmmm. Are a few bad fans causing this? I'm not the one who proclaimed Stef the 2nd best post player in WCBB early in the year - what's Geno done to her since then to cause this drop in performance ?

He must have bruised her ego by telling her she was the 2nd best center in America. Don't you see how they are collapsing on her ?
That is why we are getting more open 3's, we just have to make them

See the recent article from Rich on Stokes...it's quite obvious Geno thinks Kiah can do more....

There were two unbelievable situations in the Nova game. In one, Steff was standing 4-6' from the basket with no one in between. A rebound came off her direction and her eyes were on it. Her body did not even move - not even a delayed reaction. Another Husky had to come and get it. No movement at all. Another time she got the ball in the low post with a channel 10' wide to the hoop. She made a couple uncoordinated movements and passed the ball out rather than turning into that lane and taking what should have been an easy hoop (for Tina it would have been way too easy and cat-quick). And it's the fault of the team that they are not getting the ball to Stef where she needs it? I just don't get the disparity between what is said about her conditioning and talent by the coaches and announcers and what I'm seeing from her play in games like tonight.

Hence why you don't coach at a Div 1 level.

And you do?!? Perhaps you think SD has been playing well? Did you see the game tonight? How would you rate her game?

As I posted before I've been wondering what's wrong with Steph. I don't think that it's a problem with coaching. She doesn't seem as quick and doesn't get up in the air like she did at the beginning of the year. She seems fatigued; she did loose a lot of weight and did play hard during the summer. She is a sophomore and may have hit a wall. She's strong and will work through it (IMHOP)

I don't know whats up with her game, her teammates aren't getting the ball to her with any frequency or at the right time, that and she appears a bit listless for lack of a better word, it would appear Geno is not insisting that his "four guards" get the ball inside to her so he must be okay with the level of play in that regard, we have three bigs and none of them seem to be able to satisfy Geno's wants on the court, this team is odd that way this year.

I saw the same stuff. It really is a cause for concern. Add to it she cannot hit that foul line shot that was money last year.
