Congrats on a great season, Huskies!

The first thing I'd like to say is " THANK YOU HUSKIES ". You gave us all something positive to watch, look forward to and to cheer about. I recently retired from Uconn after over 36 years, so I bleed Husky Blue. I enjoyed watching this young team grow , and they have a bright future. I have seen all of the great husky players and for me, Paige had the greatest freshman season in Uconn's history. A couple of my opinions on last night's game.
First of all, we ran into a very seasoned and experienced Arizona team. Arizona seemed to have us so well scouted that their defense seemed to know what Uconn was going to do before it happened. Great job by coach Barnes and and her team for following their game plan to a T. Personally , I would rather see Paige play PG and have the ball in her hands, rather than running around trying to find an open shot. The huskies missed around 15 layups at point blank range. I have a hard time crediting the Arizona defense for those misses. My thoughts during the first quarter was that Uconn looked like a team that was tight and Arizona was totally hyped up. Missing layups, sent the Huskies into a mental tailspin and hurt their confidence.
To me only Paige and Christyn have earned anything going forward. Evina is not WNBA ready, but will probably leave because of her knees. Olivia needs to do a lot of soul searching for herself. She should have been able to dominate last night. There seems to be two distinctive styles in WCBB right now. Teams that utilize the inside power game and most of the rest smaller teams with lightning quick guards and high volume 3pt' shooting. Uconn seems caught between the two to me, but that's just how I see it.
I have no reason to doubt Christyn and what she said about Uconn's approach to the game. And I think that and Geno's team immaturity slant go together. We will have the same young team back next year, adding more good young players, and I'm sure a more maturity gained from this years tournament experience.
Thank you again to the HUSKIES and everyone associated with the team for giving something special during trying times. And thank you to everyone in this group for accepting me into the fold. Now, since I'm finally fully vaccinated I'm looking forward to resuming travel and my scuba diving somewhere warm.
