Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5177081, member: 12088"] Thanks again, Sensei! I disagree with [USER=13470]@yhun89[/USER] -- if you say Sarah is 6'5" I'm clinging to that like it's holy scripture. :D:D:D I agree with everyone that Creighton is a tough matchup, even though they're small. They are tenacious and no one scraps for loose balls like they do. And their 3pt shooting is formidable, with 4 players at or near 40% -- Maly, Mogenson, Jensen and Townsend. This is also a very experienced lineup, mainly seniors and a couple of juniors. They know each other really well and don't tend to make mistakes. This is not a group it is easy to rattle. My guess is that we'll see a lot of Morgan Cheli in this game. They are a small team, so even our small-ball lineup with Sarah and Morgan in the frontcourt -- and maybe Aubrey too -- will still be bigger than they are. Morgan also has the right mentality to play against a team of scrappers. I also wonder if we'll see some earlier minutes for Allie in this game. She could match up well against Creighton. In the end, I suspect that we have too many shooters for them to deal with, and Sarah in particular. I think Paige will pick their interior defense apart with passes to Sarah in the paint, and Sarah will return the favor. Creighton usually plays a collapsing defense -- zone or sagging man -- to control the low post against taller teams. But if we hit from 3, they won't be able to do this so easily. This will mean they have to defend Jana or Ice straight up, which is not a winning formula for them. [/QUOTE]
