Boston scored 22 and 11 points against UConn.  That's not a problem in my book.

The problem is that she grabbed 15 and 16 rebounds and South Carolina kept on the offensive boards and kept UConn off the offensive boards.  UConn doesn't play them till February 5.  I think SC may dominate on the boards in that game, but by the Final Four I predict the young'uns plus Aubrey will have learned how to handle SC's relentless rebounding.  Ice and Ayanna are both STRONG, and Ayanna "leaps out of the gym" per Paige, as does Aubrey, back willing.  Lou is big and strong, Nika, as I'll never forget, outrebounded Cameron Brink in the Final Four this year on a bum ankle.  UConn has the tools, they need to put them all together.  (I'm by no means ignoring the potential that Dorka and Aaliyah may step up the rebounding, but they didn't this past season.)

I really think if they can rebound, they can defeat South Carolina.  No prediction, just citing the possibility.
