Geno says in an interview with Alexa that Paige needed to take control of the game and needed to be more aggressive. And then goes on to say " something " wasn't right with Paige, or Aaliyah. But, he 's not sure what it was. If he's going to make that statement, then I have to ask why as the coach doesn't he know what's going on mentally and physically with his players ? Uconn has a lot of really " nice " players that all love each other. Problem is they lack KILLER INSTINCT and some of the nastiness that goes with it. Teams can't wait to get on the court and smack Huskies around. I love that Paige is coming back , because I love watching her play. But, if all she wants to do is pass to teamates , so they look good , maybe she'd be better off in WNBA, where it will work out great. In WCBB the stars need to show up and take over. Maybe Wnba will suit Aaliyah's game better. We shall see. She's really a small forward with no 3pt. shot. Being outplayed by Stuelke not a great way to go out.

This is getting so very, very dreary, magic. You are completely alone in your opinions--which doesn't necessarily make them wrong factually. But we're a group of boosters who love our school, team, and players. When the rest of us are giving this team a standing ovation for its enormous play and heart all season, you're just kicking it when it's down. Aaliyah is going to go in the top 4 or 5 of the WNBA draft no matter what you say. So, please aim these remarks at the WNBA general managers who are so misguided and obviously know so much less about basketball than you do.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish with all this? Like most things we say about sports, these are all subjective opinions. No one agrees with your particular brand of opinions and no one likes to read these posts. It's just annoyance for its own sake.
Geno was protecting his players. Something you obviously know nothing about.

I am going out on a limb and say that as a kid Magic was either a bully, or the victim of a bully and now is taking the opportunity to retaliate on others who are not here to defend themselves. Don't know him. But, hey, if Magic can make judgements from afar about people he doesn't know based on what he "sees", he shouldn't mind being the recipient of the same "rush to judgement". |

You are right you don't know me. No , I wasn't a bully or a victim. Why am I considered retaliating? Geno himself said that Paige needs to takeover. I repeated it because that is also what I also saw. You are the one making accusations with no substance. One thing that has occured to me is that I am mostly a fan of men's bb. I also watch wcbb, but mostly because I am interested in UCONN. Most men's fans have no problem analyzing what they see regarding " their " team. Women's bb fans seem to have a need to protect " their " girls . If the men were to throw out a stinker tonight ( let's hope not ) I would talk the same way. So, if wcbb truly wants to expand their game to lots of male viewers, then they have to take the the negative with the positive. Personally, I think some people here are full of.....but since I don't know anyone personally , I'll refrain from personal judgements like you made ! |

I saw 100% nasty out of Nika.
Please remember these girls r playing like 38 minutes a game due to injuries.
Dont u think it would look different if we even just had Aubrey, let alone Azzi.
I agree Paige needed to step up but our supporting cast really played well.

They lost a fricking game. Not the first and certainly not the last.
The season is over. We are all disappointed. But what is the point of second guessing who did or didn't do what? Sometimes this board looks a bit like the orange board with members bashing each other after a loss. We should be appreciating what this team accomplished this year. After all the injuries who thought that this team would make the final 4? I didn't, so now I'm content to say they had a great season and I thank them for the entertainment.

Way too blanket a statement. It's one particular poster that got bashed and that was for bashing players and second guessing. I totally agree with everything else you said. |
