Ok, Jose Fernandez is NOT a dummy, but his game plan for the UConn game is suspect.
Seriously Jose, you had all season to get one or two subs in a position to help out with a few minutes and no one developed enough? Who's fault is that? Your Plan A was to run with UConn for 40 minutes with only 5 players? Did you watch the DePaul game? They tried it with 10 players and it didn't work. Your offensive game plan was for Courtney Williams to outscore UConn? News flash Jose, Geno adjusted at the half and Williams finished the 2nd half with only 6 points. Her 21 total points came on 22 shots and she had 2 assists. If not for Stringfield hitting 4 of 8 shots in the 2nd half, you would have lost by 35. She also had only 2 assists. In fact, USF had 7 assists total..!! UConn had 17, make a note, coach...
Yes, one of your starters was injured. That happens in basketball, plan for it. So does foul trouble. Geno used only 7 players until the very last few minutes, but his 2 subs, Gabby & Napheesa, gave 27 minutes of great work. Combined, 4 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and tough defense. Hey Jose, if you face UConn again next Monday, it will be the third straight game in three nights. Is that "play the starters for 40 minutes" plan going to work Monday? You have one week to invent Plan B.
Go Huskies..!!
P.S. - My daughter goes to USF and they have enough of my money that I get one rant per season.
