Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 4521769, member: 504"] While it is understandable that issues of fatigue and endurance are a topic ripe for discussion and differences of opinion regarding 20 year old top shelf athletes, the high level of expectations for UConn figures in to all of it. The point being, what constitutes UConn’s rough sledding is a great year for 99% of the other D1 programs, meaning it will be harder for them to win an NC. Nobody is paying attention if the team with the 260th worst record is missing half the team and 5 players are playing 99% of the minutes. I’m just beyond impressed with this group of players and the coaching this year. They only have 4 players right now in street clothes that would be an NC contending group and the others we are so lucky to have playing for our team are as tough a bunch as exist. That we can still think this group can be in the picture for an NC even if a bit overused is amazing. Imagine a program where the conundrum facing the coach is what impact might arise on team chemistry if one of the best players in the country returns to full health and they have to decide if she should start. One thing is for sure. This group probably sleeps well. [/QUOTE]
