Fun thought for the day
Current Starting 5, Liv, Ali, Squeaks, Azzi, The Hammer, Geno is the coach vs Buckets, Mamma E, A healthy Aubrey, Dorka, The Silent Assassin, CD is the coach
Who wins? Things that make you go Hmmmm?

This is an easy one buckets and company by 17.
Caroline shuts down Williams , griffin on edwards , dorka and ono( dorka quicker) mama e on Azzi ( too much experience and Paige against muhl . ( gets muhl in early fouls trouble .

I think the current starting 5 wins. Dorka needs help and Paige is not 100 percent. There is at least one bad guard mismatch. Close game

If everyone was healthy, what is your starting lineup and how many minutes for the subs?
Paige, Azzi, Squeakes, Edwards and ONO are my starters.
Major minutes for Dorka, fair numbers for E, short muinutes for Mika and fewer for Caroline.

You mentioned everybody healthy. That is the key . Everybody healthy Paige easily over muhl , Caroline definitely over Squeaks because of her size and to be honest better defender than Squeaks , Azzi maybe slight edge because of offense but Evina with her defense keeps her in check mostly . Aubrey and edwards would be fun matchup as well as ono and dorka . The one thing about this matchup geno would need to work with Paige’s group for a month. Without the second group working together the starting 5 wins because they have been playing together. This shutdown defense is because of muhl and edwards with help from ono. With a month’s work would be a complete shutdown defense . Azzi and the two bigs would have to do the scoring . Muhl and Williams would be shut down |

Azzi flew under the radar last night, but she played 36 minutes, and her defense was stifling. When I watched the game again, I counted 6 defensive plays she made, that forced Villanova turnovers, plus the two steals.
She was being overplayed on the three point line, she would pump fake, get the opponent in the air, dribble a few feet and drill a 10 foot shot that is like a layup for Azzi. Is the final act of this bizarre season going to be Paige and Azzi leading the way for a NC? If they are the next Chosen Ones, it would be the PERFECT time to prove it. |

With a month’s work would be a complete shutdown defense . Azzi and the two bigs would have to do the scoring . Muhl and Williams would be shut down I didn’t read the whole text accurately. But the only way would be to fair is to have gen’s coaching although CD is good . She does work with the bigs so griffin and dorka would be ok. The team of dorka , griffin Caroline, Paige snd Evina would control the boards Aubrey is so athletic she could play ono. This second 5 has good size and unless Williams decides not to release early 5 rebounders against 4 so probably a lot of offensive rebounds for 2nd If we going to win the national championship Williams will have to help on the boards . By average she is the worst rebounder per 40 minutes . She only gets 3 a game. Muhl out rebounds her because she is not looking at preserving her body |

Regarding the hypothetical game. My concern would be loading upon Paige. Having Azzi and Squeakes allows themm to spread the floor better. If Caroline was shooting well and Evina was shooting well, then that wouldl lessen my concern. Having a healthy Paige and Azzi and then Williams allows UConn to spread the floor better (and get Williams to the basket). I think the current second team would have its offense bogged down and might not be as strong defensively.

I think the current second team would have its offense bogged down and might not be as strong defensively. That is why I said have geno work with just second group for a month . Individually Caroline is already better than Williams on defense. . Williams because of her inconsistency has been weak this year as an individual but the team with muhl and Fudd outside and the big 3 allows her to roam and when she allows players to get by her the switches are there . She probably played her best individual defense in the big east tournament . Most of the season she was not keeping her player in front of her . That is what geno preaches . Don’t let your man beat you . A lot of the big’s fouls have come from having to defend who cw was guarding I think you watch Caroline from her early games she was getting beat on defense but now for the most part her player does not penetrate against her. Bottom line I am excited about next year having Caroline and Azzi together . The defense next year may be the best they ever had |
