Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2664389, member: 8501"] There are a lot of really insightful comments about ND, it's players and it's coach, MM. She's probably the closest thing to Geno that there is currently and has been for many years. She will surely come up with a variety of strategies to counteract all and any of the advantages U Conn has. She also has some very gutsy and skilled players, but no more and no less than her opponent - essentially both have a short bench. So the more I read these comments with bright, well thought out posts, this sounds like a tough, close game, that seemingly U Conn will pull out. And yes, if many things go ND's way they could actually win. While I wouldn't say I'm 100% sure, I'd like to propose an alternate universe. As U Conn did against SC, they will come out driven and on fire and then MM will use a timeout or two to re-focus her team. At that point they will either hang in and keep it close, or maybe on this one night, tomorrow night, it won't matter as U Conn is playing on another level. Then the goal will be to prevent an embarrassing loss. I truly don't know which way this will go tomorrow night. Logic tells me ND & MM will make it close but I'm feeling a very one sided game from early on. But, that's why they play the games. I can't wait! Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
