Game Analysis - Game 8 - UConn vs Louisville (for Saturday December 7th)

KK has not improved her outside shooting. So I have seen teams leave her open and not guard her closely.

Last year with tons of playing time, KK was 30 of 91 on threes. 33%.

This year she is 0 for 7 with limited playing time.

Problem is not shooting, just law of small numbers. 3 makes in a row and she is back on track.

It's tough playing less minutes, as you don't get in the same groove as you do playing the whole game.

She will keep shooting, or defense will sag and limit her drives.

We need her this year, and even more for next two.

But she's been exceptionally better at going to the rim. We need someone to perform this function, especially when our excellent outside shooters force open the middle of the floor. I don't love all of KK's decisions, but going to the rim doesn't take a lot of forethought.

I hope not but a very close game with Uconn winning in the final minutes.

UConn should win this match-up handily, but I view it as the prototypical trap game........Louisville is just good enough to cause UConn real problems if the Huskies have their minds on the upcoming Notre Dame battle.....

The late start, 9pm or 9:30pm, will test my 77 year old body!

I'm sure they've done their best but it's up to the players to stay focused on Louisville who could be a hand full......

I'll be at the Barclays Center as one representative of the 77 year old Husky fan base. Go Huskies!
