Some thoughts on the Wichita State game:
- The post-holiday rust was evident for just about everyone. It seems there is a game like this just about every year after the holiday break.
- I like that Wichita State plays an aggressive man defense, which should be good preparation for some of the challenges ahead on UConn’s schedule. UConn made several lazy passes and they paid a price for it.
- I have this unshakable feeling that there will be a game, hopefully very soon, when Christyn will find her stroke, shoot lights out and go off for 30 or so. Right now, she doesn’t appear to be shooting in rhythm.
- Geno is experimenting with various lineups and, while I hate to say it, the 5th starter is still something of a question mark imo.
- Oh well, UConn is 11-0 and on to SMU.
Wichita St has 15 players and nearly all gave a foul or 5. The game play was foul ONO early and often and do the same to Walker. No lay ups. use he European method foul to prevent a score. Frustrating and working for W.St. It took Uconn (again) out of sync and the game had little flow. Expect to see this again and again.
As Uconn is showing they lose heir poise in the 3rd quarter or 4th and make bad passes and to players that aren't there. Uncharacteristic of Uconn.
I said to the spouse: I guess Wichita didn't read Uconn's press notices. No fear in them. They knew they had no chance and nothing to lose. 2 terrific 3 point shooters on that team.
I agree on to SMU---this game has no meaning in he scheme of life, move on. Glad to see Aubrey get some good minutes if only after Walker fouled out.
The 5th starter isn't all that obscure. It is either Ania or Aubrey there are no other choices. It is not a long stretch to think he may use either on occasion or run either off he bench on occasion. The choices are limited and every coach in WCBB div 1 knows it. Geno in post game gave Christyn high praise for assists, rebounding. She had at least 13 not a bad night. I agree
@oldude she will need to find that stroke to make the final run for the roses.
