Thanks again [USER=267]@cferraro04[/USER]. Excellent work!

To be honest, I don’t know what to make of Dalce vs Aaliyah. She’s had good games against UConn and is a talented shot blocker. Getting Dalce in foul trouble was key last season and, to be fair, playing next to Siegrist helped her find openings. This time around, Aaliyah with no Dorka next to her has to win this matchup. This means scoring around Dalce and outmuscling her to rebounds.

Containing Olsen is also essential to a win. The rest of the team after these two are competent role players, and can score and defend if Olsen attracts all the attention. If Nika or KK or Ash can control her on switches without having to double her every time, it will make a huge difference.

On the other end of the court, it’s the usual formula: if Ash and Nika can hit 3s, Paige and Aaliyah will score easily in the paint. If not, Dalce will defend well in a packed paint. Paige knows how to defeat strong defenders like Dalce, but she needs a little help from other scorers. This is no time for Ash and KK to reflect on the past. It’s yet another moment for them to show exactly what they can do.
