"He gets so animated with the officials. He gets his teams to play hard. They always come up with something. They always have a plan. They always come in with an idea, 'If we do this, we can take this away from Connecticut.' So it's never that they just come out and say, 'Let's go play and see what happens.' We've had some great battles with them. We had some good ones in regular season, the Big East tournament, the NCAA tournament and Final Fours. It's been a great, great run with them." "The first and most important thing about matching up with UConn is that you've got to be able to score with them," Walz said. "They have six players in double figures. They are so efficient. We're going to have to do that. We're going to have to figure out ways to put the ball in the basket. Then we're going to have to figure out a way to stop them in transition. They run as well as any UConn team that I think he's had. They are very good passers. If you collapse in the post, they kick out for threes. We need to get it into a game where it's 5-on-5 and we're doing everything we can to stop them from scoring in transition." "We know how talented they are," UConn All-American Gabby Williams said. "We know how hard they work so we're expecting a challenge and we're really excited for it. It will be a good taste of the tournament for us. I think we need this game. You still can't prepare for the Final Four until you have been to the Final Four, but this will help give us a peek at the tournament and how teams are going to play us."
