Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3100067, member: 7748"] In other threads I've argued that UCLA may be the hottest team in the Pac-12 right now. The Maryland game demonstrated their relentlessness on the offensive boards. This is where I think our game will be decided with them. In particular Kennedy Burke is a matchup nightmare. Whoever said that Combs and Olivia will play a key part in this game was completely correct. I'm fascinated by the matchup between Dean and Crystal. I did notice Dean had two unforced turnovers in the Maryland game. We're going to need to turn her over and I think do much much better job of defending the three line. being defeated ASU during the regular Pac-12 season with a last-second three. Her quickness was on display as well as her ability to dictate offense and shoot when necessary. our team defense will need to be exemplary both to shut her down and provide help on Burke. Frankly I'm more than a little concerned about this matchup. A bounce-back game after Buffalo with energy is high and defense will be necessary I think to beat UCLA. [/QUOTE]
