Message: [QUOTE="BlueSkyGLW, post: 5115433, member: 11281"] Which team has had the hardest OOC schedule all these years? Against those teams, Coach G doesn't wait until March to try and win them. And, before he increased his roster, from 9 to 10 to now 14 (likely 15 next year) those included walk-ons.....hence, he would be lucky to have 6 rotation players who he could rely on to win as many as they can, OOC and tournament. Don't you remember the state of health Gabby and company had by the time they reached the FF? (Gabby viewed it as a challenge but she did intimate after the loss Miss State that it was an exhausting year). Regular season and playoffs, high pressure games in OOC plus self-generated pressure by being UConn WBB. And, do you really think it is just physical when to consider everything they have to face? The mental load is taxing too. And, the short rotation of primarily 6 for those teams and those that followed since. Why do you think Coach G had to reduce the use of pressure defense for those teams, only selectively using it as a change of pace. Anyway, given the effects of injuries on available rotation pieces in the past several years, Coach G has changed his recruiting limits hasn't he? [/QUOTE]
