I've watched two UConn games this year (UCLA and ND) and every time Walker has been on court she's been doing good things. Geno surely knows best, but I think she needs more PT.
You're making an excellent argument for returning women's basketball to 6 players at a time; 3 on the forecourt and 3 on the backcourt.Whose minutes you drop? Not arguing. You see Z needs minutes, right? You see she needs minutes with the pg, right? Who is our backup pg? It's Nurse. She needs minutes as pg too, right? Plus she also needs to work with Z and Danger. You've seen Collier off a bit. SO you saw what she was capable of last year, you think it best not to play as much? And Lou hasn't played a lot of games. So where are the minuets coming from?.
Napheesa disappeared when Z came in. UConn has to fix that.

I thought the same about Turner- but that's life in Basketball land. Considering how easily Z and Phee got by Westbeld in particular, why that wasn't exploited earlier- oh well, it was when important. I look forward to watching ND this year- talented, entertaining group of playersWell, having Ms. Turner or Vaughn might've helped...Z and Collier are just too quick for Shep, Koko Nelson and Kat Westbeld. But, that's not happening this year. My thought might be to give frosh Danielle Patterson some time in upcoming games so she can at least give those two some rest during the ACC battles.
A couple of hundred posts ago this afternoon, I wrote to an anguished UConn fan that it was a game of runs and, of course, UConn was going to make one. I was hoping it wouldn't last the whole fourth quarter though.
Overall, liked what I saw from the Irish for three quarters. Mabrey and Arike simply will not back down....proud of their efforts. Great game. Look forward to the next one.
yes! MM has killed us at times, so I hated her in a respectful way. But that hissy fit with Phee was immature and unacceptable- that behavior wouldn't be tolerated by Geno/CD- what am I saying? Geno/CD wouldn't recruit a player who acts like that in public. MM, let your play speak for you, not a tantrum.I really enjoyed NC mixing it up with MM just as uconn is making there run. That was awesome. MM was so frustrated.
I totally agree! Shame on anyone who has watched Gabby for 4 years and not known that there was something going on, and not the usual Geno teaching a lesson. You could see the pain in her eyes.Rebecca was wrong and as I said in another thread she owes Gabby an apology. Rebecca assumed she knew what was going on. She should have said "we'll have to wait until after the game to hear what happened with Gabby,"
Yes, I see that Mabrey has progressed her whining and complaining to officials to a whole new level....I have to say that I'm really impressed with the development of Mabrey & Shepard. Along with Ogunbowle, Young & Thompson, they make ND a very dangerous team.
Whining aside, Mabrey played very well last night, particularly running the point when Thompson was not on the court.Yes, I see that Mabrey has progressed her whining and complaining to officials to a whole new level....
