Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 5161077, member: 6620"] Interesting, well-reasoned summary (and not just because of who your projected Title Game Winner is...;)) Regarding that, the Irish are playing very well as it is, but if Maddy Westbeld comes back soon enough to mesh into the overall flow while delivering her specific brand of talents (three-level scoring, passing, rebounding), the Irish will get a kick-start. She's practicing on a daily basis now, so that should be soon. Regarding your Final Four predictions, I think UConn would benefit from a forward coming back, as well: Aubrey Griffin. She can be the aggressive paint presence that I think UConn isn't quite getting on a consistent basis right now. Strong could use the help. Strong is obviously both exceedingly talented and very composed. It will be fascinating to see UConn next year centered around somebody other than Paige Bueckers (who was pretty darn composed herself). I hadn't realized Khamil Pierre of Vandy had improved her scoring that much from her frosh year. Her teammate, Mikayla Blakes, averaging around 20 ppg, would probably be on a number of freshman teams if the season ended right now. BWT, big game today for Vandy: Kentucky comes to town for a mid-afternoon tilt on SEC+. [/QUOTE]
