Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5145794, member: 12088"] Thank you again, Sensei! Excellent analysis. This game is particularly of interest for me because I’ve long been a fan of Audi, since her high school days. She’s not just a big kid. She’s also a leader, or at least she was in high school and last year. It’s also worth noting that Ice played against her in AAU meets in high school. Neither one could stop the other from scoring, though it’s worth mentioning that in the game I saw, Ice didn’t have to guard Audi. That task was left to Kennedy Brown, who floundered in the role despite having a height advantage. [B]In the Iowa game, I noticed that Audi was significantly tired in several stretches and failed to contest a few plays from fatigue[/B]. I wonder if she hasn’t recovered her conditioning from last season yet. I suspect the advice a couple have already given in this thread is just right: make them run. If Audi can’t play at UConn’s pace, defending her in the low post won’t matter nearly as much. Addy Brown is new to me and I didn’t know what to expect from her. But she‘s been impressive in a few games I was able to watch this season. [B]I’m not so sure that Sarah has an obvious advantage, since Addy is a three-level scorer too.[/B] What this says to me is that our primary advantage will have to come from Paige Kaitlyn and Ash, and I have a feeling they won’t disappoint. This may even turn out to be a breakout game for Ash. And though Emily Ryan is a decent PG, she doesn’t look like she can really keep up with the combination of Kaitlyn and KK, and they don’t have a comparable backup for her. This is why the Ash-Arianna matchup may prove so decisive. A guard corps stretched to its limit elsewhere will start to crack trying to defend Paige and Ash. Of course, I have no expectation that Kelsey Joens can keep up with Paige. But it just looks like the stars may be aligning for Ash tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
