There isn't one team in the country that wouldn't take Alliyah. And she would start on 99.9% of them. She makes her defender work hard, she aggressively chases down offensive rebounds, she has become a reliable free throw shooter, & her outside shot has been deadly.
Paige clearly isn't close to 100% and probably won't be till next year..Caroline unfortunately has lost a lot of playing time to Azzi and of course we all want Azzi in there but I also wondered why she was playing 36 mins. in a blowout while Caroline only played 16 mins..Hey everyone saying what a great job Geno has done this year and he has but it may be even a tougher job figuring out who plays with who and how many mins everyone gets going forward..guess his assistants are going to have to help with that.
My husband and I were discussing the Caroline/Azzi time thing. He thought that Geno wants to get Azzi into a groove going into the tourney and was giving her more time on the court since she came back after Caroline got many minutes under her belt. Geno now has the luxury of playing Caroline limited minutes until she feels 100%. Last I heard, CD said Caroline wasn’t quite there yet.
Why can't you just let him do just that?

Good call, Nan! Also, Geno has mentioned there is often a tournament game where the teams doesn't perform well, but one player carries them by lighting up the board. With Paige still healing, I'm guessing Geno believes that Azzi has that capability.
I remember audibly gasping when it happened, but it was moreso for the Villanova girl who broke her fall. Yikes!
Not the trophy, the league.
The committee is also d part of their seeding to take into consideration injuries, to whom, when and return of players.
Geno always says what he thinks the teams needs to hear, not necessarily what he thinks. It was a great commentary. I think he was preempting what he was afraid might become an issue.
Bam!
They are actually really similar if you think about it. About the same size and score from deep 3 and in the space between foul line and restricted arc most of the time....
To me, Aaliyah is what the theoretical healthy Batouly Camara could have been. A player like that could have been helpful during those years.
Same goes for Morrow at DePaul.
Ceremony.. Christyn with such joy.
I think it depends on how hard it is for her to sit that long.
Doesn't MM now work for ESPN?
I believe Villanova was forced deep into the shot clock.
Dead ball turnovers, yes some sloppy (especially AE) not as damaging when the defense is so good.
Not sure! ESPN interviews MM quite often. They also have several former coaches on their staff including Carolyn Peck, Nikki Fargas, & Stephanie White.
Comparing apples and oranges regarding Caroline and Maddy.
She's on the ESPN's ACC channel
Cornhole.
