Message: [QUOTE="iri10, post: 2669299, member: 1781"] MSSt's strength comes from disruptive matchups. They've got a strong giant center in the middle to clog things up and get O-boards and putbacks and easy shots under the basket. They've got three players who shoot well from 3 (highly unusual for an SEC team), and two of them can also drive effectively. McCowan is tough to stop one on one, but if you double her you've got big trouble with those guards. She also lets those guards be very aggressive on defense because she's a stopper of last resort. However, if a piece is missing from that lineup (most importantly McCowan), MSSt often doesn't look nearly as good. They're not what you would call an elegant and versatile offense. Take away the matchup problems they pose for almost everybody and they turn into...an SEC team. :D Still no clue who will win this game, though. [/QUOTE]
