Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 3918200, member: 7874"] Even Iowa's losses have been shoot-outs. However in 6 of their 9 losses Monica scored under her average. In four of the losses Caitlin was under her average. In both case they were not severely under average. For the most part they were out scored. Although if I were Geno I would have a look at Iowa's first game with Northwestern when Caitlin was held to 8 points! If UCONN can limit both to just few under their averages then a victory should be had. Defense does not seem to be a strong suit for Iowa since they average 86.6 PTS/G versus 80.1 for their opponents. UCONN has held their opponents to 50.7 PTS/G while averaging 82.8 themselves. Iowa for the season (reg & post combined) shot 52 % however their opponents shot 45%. I feel certain Caitlin's assist per game are inflated by Monica's post presence. Stopping Caitlin will be difficult for UCONN without a shutdown defender. But I believe Olivia and Aaliyah can and must disrupt Monica's game. If this happens I believe Caitlin's game will be disrupted enough to minimize her effect on the game. [/QUOTE]
