He also said if things get shaky they can't show that to the young uns.

In game one I would make sure I got the rookies some plays just to help settle them down. Paige and AE can take over the game at any time and they will before it becomes problematic.

I got faith in the freshies. They are going to impress the heck out of us in this tournament. The vets are going to do what they do best, but Ashlynn, KK, Q, and Ice will play huge roles in the tournament. I can't wait.

Saw the thread title and was wondering why vets needed to step up for a Women's basketball game. Then I saw what it was about, DUH! I guess I had a brain fart on this one. Geno is right though, they do need to step up for the next 6 games.

Yes, Serge, a special medal of honor awaits you and the other vets if you can drain a clutch 3 in a big spot on a moments notice. Some lock down defense may also be requested of you. ;-)

When I was a sports journalist--it wasn't that long ago--it was policy to never use the word "veteran" to describe an experienced athlete. Yes, I suppose I'm a fossil, but I still think it's disrespectful to armed services personnel to have to share that honored title with a ballplayer. Now, get off my lawn.

My only lock down defense today is:

1. Take the living room over (the big screen) from my better half.
2. Sit on my kyster in my lounger.
3. Watch UConn beat the heck out of Jackson State.

The vets stepped up, along with Ash.
