My feeling was when Aubrey Griffin went down that was the last straw of injuries that would keep us from the final four.  Paige is great but that made the available useful players so low that IMO it's a bridge too far now. Hoping for the best of course but thinking we're probably at the end of the road.  Watching USC a number of times this year they are pretty darn good.   Back in the day of beautiful "less contact" basketball you could do it but now that we have the "roller derby" style of physical play it's almost impossible to have any gas left in the tank to play an entire game.  Let alone stay out of foul trouble.  Heck you don't even have to committ real fouls, since the game is now too fast for the refs.  Ask Edwards about that from her experience in the last game.

As an aside, Paige was exhausted at the end the last game because unlike Clark she actually applies a LOT of energy to her defensive game.

In conclusion - I hope UCONN makes me look like a bumbling idiot and wins this game!
