Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 3328250, member: 73"] Our 5th starter is a combination of 3 players who have not played at UConns level and Irwin and Bent who havent seen alot of playtime. You call that inexperience. It will take time for them to come around. Yeah we played a couple of teams not ranked very high and won. Hey Maryland last nite pulled their game out against James Madison with 14 seconds left. MD was down double digets for a long time. Yeah we are inconsistant because of a few things one being inexperience by everybody expect CD and Megan and CD is coming back from an injury. CD will be fine at some point. Makurat Griffin and Adebayo need to gain some experience. Irwin and Bent need playtime. Non Playtime for non starters is a criticizem we've seen on this board alot lately and will be big in the next couple of years with the verbals and commitments we have. So by giving inexperienced players playtime youve got to expect the flow of the game to change and mistakes to happen. Thats right where we are now. As the season progress's the flow will be better, the hesitating will disappear and when their confidence takes over we will be fine. Our core 4 continue to do a nice job and help is on the way as the season continues. Think back to Lou Phessa StewieTina Diana Maya they all made mistakes and were in Genos doghouse. The difference was they were surrounded by NPOY and AA canidates. We dont have that this season and we have won both games. Yeah both games were a little ugly at times and we looked pretty good at times and we held on on. So Temple is up next then Virginia Dayton and Ohio St. Its gonna be fun to watch this team grow and even more fun to watch with anticapation of who's coming in in the next couple of years. Remember those 5 recruits coming in next year will need playtime to develop and gain experience. Its a cycle called a learning curve. GO Huskies [/QUOTE]
