Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4528478, member: 12088"] Thanks again, Sensei! I may be a bit more optimistic than you about this game even though I really like Marquette as a team and respect Megan Duffy as a coach. They played us tough last time at home, and I expect the same effort from them again. But I think we’ll be riding high after playing SC. No pressure on us anymore. This may be a blowout in the second half. Marotta and Karlen are really good players, and very strong. But they’re no match for Aaliyah and Dorka when they’re playing well. We just have too much size for them. Jordan King is having the best year of her career. She’s feisty and fierce on D and a resourceful pg and scorer. She’s the core of their team. This is exactly who I’d want Nika to guard. It’s a matchup made for both of them. They have nobody comparable to Lou or Aubrey. I think they could each have very big nights. Last year, they played us close in the Maguire Center for 3 quarters, until Azzi and Evina blew the game wide open. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lou and Aubrey did something similar this time. This is an important game against a fine Big East team. Playing them is a treat. If Caroline plays a few minutes, it will be wonderful. We’ll roll either way, but it would be good to see her on the court. [/QUOTE]
