Message: [QUOTE="Conndog, post: 4152206, member: 5939"] If UConn can hit outside shots and play solid defense, then they can beat SC and anyone. Need Ducharme to continue to play well (& the more minutes she can get, the better she will become), need Azzi to be recovered and start to acclimate fully to the college speed game. It's taken Ducharme a few games with long stretches of playing time to get up to develop, can Azzi get this same conditioning period? Need Paige to get into shape quickly if she gets the green light to play (not worried about her shot). I'd be careful with Paige and limit her playing time when she comes back, with playing time increasing more over time. Christyn can shoot or drive, EW can shoot, we'll see about Nika, she plays defense and sets up others, but she can hit a few shots too. Can we beat SC or Stanford or Louisville or Arizona if they meet again? Yes! We have good players up front- Dorka, Liv, Aaliyah, hopefully Aubrey, maybe DeBerry We have good shooting guards- Ducharme, Christyn, EW, Azzi, Paige, Nika That's a lot of offensive firepower- give the starters some rest with the deepening roster, and we can go into 4th Q and seal a victory. Just need to play good defense too and limit turnovers. [/QUOTE]
