USA starting line-up for AUS

[UcMiami]

So ... does Geno change the starting line-up for the AUS game?
My guess is no, though if Lauren gets off quickly, he may make changes sooner than he has in past games.

Obvious possible changes are Tina/Syl and Maya/CP3. But I think he starts out full pressure and running hard on offensive to tire Liz. She does not look very fast on defense, and while Lauren can be used to break pressure you do not want her dribbling with either Maya or Catch on her.

I would start Syl and CP3 against Cambage/LJ, but Geno didn't ask me...

Good question - the Aussies are a big team. I think Cambage is 6'7", Batkovic is 6'5"-ish and Jackson is 6'4". It's going to be a tough game. Hopefully our guards on "on" and i think the players with great mid range games (Maya, Catch, and Augustus) will be key...

I would go with the current starting lineup, and run, run, run. Cambage won't be able to stay with it and USA will score bunches in transition.. Geno won't change anything unless Australia forces him to and I don't believe they can.

Best defense vs. Cambage is harass the Aussie guards so they can't get her the ball in scoring position. Press, press, press.

...and when Cambage doesn't get the ball, she tends to get surly, have awful body language, and generally be difficult to deal with.

I'd like having Parker on LJ, and put Catchings on her when
Parker needs a blow.
