Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4229189, member: 3834"] South Carolina is clearly the team to beat. Until we actually do that we have to be considered an underdog. However, it is also [B]very[/B] clear that we have become a much better team since our last meeting. To be fair though, SC probably has improved as well! I believe we can beat them if we play well but we’re certainly not a favorite! Personally, I’d be just as happy if they were to get knocked out by some other hot shooting team before we met. Those who are acting as though we are suddenly the superior team and are now the favorite to win a matchup with SC, are simply whistling past the graveyard! Again, we can win that game, but a lot of things are going to have to go right in order for that to happen. Most important, we have to play well and show some serious heart when things get tough. Somehow, we have to figure out a way to limit their offensive rebounding, our posts must collectively neutralize Boston et al either by holding her under her average or by matching her scoring themselves. Meanwhile, our guards must match SC’s physical play without getting into foul trouble. They must score throughout the game and be able to avoid long dry spells like that awful fourth quarter in the last game we played! We have to limit our turnovers and hopefully turn them over for transition buckets. Finally, we need a fair, evenly called game by the referees. Bonus; Paige and/or Azzi have “one of those days” where they are fully in tune! Wow! Seems easy now that I’ve figured it out! :rolleyes: Did Caroline play? [/QUOTE]
