Who will start in Paige's absence

If you’ll catch my drift- I was suggesting as much or more time than the medical recommendations.
So I’m on the same page as Coach.

Reread his quote and realize that he will listen to the doctors and make an informed decision, rather than randomly adding additional time for no reason.

Nika will start, but with her uncanny ability to consistently foul, CD will need to play freely and try not to overthink.

I expect Evina will get a lot of time at point as well.

Just a thought. Geno has run a relatively vanilla setup this year with one of the guards starting the offense from the top of the key (often 20+ feet from the key). Many other schools begin their rotation much closer to the basket, often with two bigs that pick for each other (i.e. high/low). Would not surprise me to see Geno modify the flow of the UConn set up to one that relys less on a traditional point guard. Also suspect he will go back to doubling the ball on the wing on defense, a system that worked well at the end of last year and maximized the value of Aubrey and Mir.

I think it will be Caroline because we need outside shooting and another scorer. Evina will play the point and Nika will be her backup. Until Azzi is ready to play Mir might get some more minutes. I think we will also look to our bigs to score and rebound for putbacks.

Starters:
PG - Evina
SG - Christyn
Wing - Caroline
F - Liv
F - Aaliyah

Subs:
SG/Wing - Mir
F - Dorka

Seeing it visually, I am SMH.

I remember going to an SMU game in Dallas several years ago when UConn only had 6-7 healthy starters and I believe that included that year's walk on. Huskies won by 32.
