I kept wondering about Anna not getting time but you are right. Aubrey was a key player as things turned out.Aubrey's post defense when Edwards and then Ono were out with foul trouble saved the game for UConn. That's why she was in.
Excellent analogy !I found myself screaming at the set for Geno to put Anna in. AG is good for a spark but the offense suffers. I realize he was trying to counteract Baylor’s bigs but I think it cost us points. Don’t get me wrong, I love the energy AG brings to the game, energy missing with Nika out, but she’s a spot player. She still looks lost on offense and it isn’t just her lack of scoring punch—we don’t move the ball as well.
With AG in they're playing 4 on 5 on offenseI was Very impressed with AG vs Baylor!
She played with so much heart! You go girl, we need you! Very impressed indeed!
I am not suggesting that she play an entire quarter at a time. She can defend and she is big so it is not a disaster to have her in there. And she can score from three and would pull a defender out. Most importantly Paige and Evina could have a couple minutes rest. In the final five minutes Paige was gassed and her shots were short. I believe Anna could have helped alleviate that.Who would Anna have guarded? It would not have been a good match up for her.
One player saved the game okay!Aubrey's post defense when Edwards and then Ono were out with foul trouble saved the game for UConn. That's why she was in.
