Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 5194973, member: 73"] Well last nite USC @ home beat number 1 UCLA. Juju when off for 38pts and USC with a solid defense USC won. Juju had a good nite however the box score shows neither team shot the ball well. UCLA had 20 TOs which hurt. When I look at UConn with their great shooters I can only believe we will win @ SC. We have a good D as does SC. We have better shooters imo. This is a big test for UConn. We finally have Azzi back and she looks healthy especially after the last game and a half. Griff is still not 100% but did look good in her last game. This game will be a big test and very telling where we are as a team and on the road again. Ive noticed many of the upsets of the top teams have been on the road. Unfortunately we will be on the road Sunday in another hostile environment. I look at the environment as another obstacle to overcome that will make us better and test our fortitude as well as our mental stamina. IMO we can not use injuries as a crutch. We have key injuries however we have Azzi and Griff back and we have something to prove. This is the exact game to prove it. This is a game where are Big 3 need to rise to the top of their games and intimidate our opponents. We need to dominate the game with our execution, energy and poise. I already had my post mentioning a winning attitude and focusing on execution which will allow us to let the opportunities happen and not think or force them to happen. Geno will have us ready and prepared. SC lost their last game @ Texas. They most likely are not happy however we need to instill early that we will control the game and play it at our tempo while not letting their aggressive work against us. We have the shooters to dominate. We have to play to our potential. I think we have learned to do that now. As hard and as tuff as it will be in SC we have what it takes this time. You Gotta Believe. My ole saying which never gets old "There are two types of players in the world. Those who think they can and those who think they cant....and theyre both right. " Let do this. [/QUOTE]
