Message: [QUOTE="wbball novice, post: 2635189, member: 8663"] Hi Huskynut! Your points are well taken. I'm kind of a worry wart with regard to Team Awesome; I should consider changing my handle to WorryWart with a warthog for an avatar! I root for UConn but I tend to be anxious the entire game -- no matter what the score. My concern with regard to Z is that she has a tendency to miss bunnies & she was doing so against a very weak opponent. Height isn't everything -- we have Gabby as an example -- I was worried that a strong defender, even if shorter, would not be as forgiving as the little flowers of St Francis. An example of a strong defender is A'ja Wilson. It was my impression that Batouly missed a couple of bunnies as well. Because of the score, I was surprised Gabby didn't use the opportunity to hone her midrange shot; she seems to have been discouraged after missing the first one. In fact, after the first quarter, this might have been an opportunity for Z to go wild and get 3 point shooting out of her system -- or finally lock in and make Team Awesome awesomer. Free throws -- I always worry about free throws. When Z misses a couple (she's crazy good as you know) I see clouds gathering and bad omens are on my mind; it's always a tie score in overtime in my head. As to the 52 points -- I was teasing.
