Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 5177502, member: 7171"] This should not be a close game. Jensen and Maly are their primary scorers. Maly shot an incredible 8 for 9 from three against Marquette recently. So, while Jana will start, she will likely be on Brake who is not a big scorer. Our centers have been playing far off of their player in recent games and I suspect that they will dare Brake to shoot open threes at the outset. She has only taken seven threes all year but has made three. If she hits a couple we may see our small lineup early and often. On the other hand, who will be able to stop Jana inside other than Jana herself? But Sarah will likely be on Maly and obviously she will need to cover her at the three point line. I imagine Paige will start on Jensen but it will be a group effort there. Hopefully Aubrey is part of that group effort and she is able to match up against everyone Creighton can run out there. I would like to see her get 15 minutes. We have been pressing full court from the start recently and I fully expect that. Another reason for the smaller lineup is that having Jana or Ice in there hurts our ability to press when the other team's "big" is capable of bringing the ball up the court. But we will press, and since Creighton only appears to go seven deep, the press should wear on them. Mogensen is a decent player but in the last two seasons against us, four games total, she has a total of 21 points and 5 assists. I am sure the game plan is to harass her from the national anthem on. Jensen and Maly would both have to have career games against us for this one to be close. I don't see it happening. [/QUOTE]
