Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3414783, member: 5798"] Well said and one. It's because of all of the points you mentioned save one, that this game will be so much fun. That is UConn is EXTREMELY outclassed here, and everyone knows it!!! The USA team is comprised of grown women that play basketball for a living, are highly skilled and considered some of the best in the world. Our girls should not be concerned about stopping anyone or getting embarrassed. They should look at this game the same way Division 2 teams do that play UConn in exhibition games at the beginning of the season. Play hard, have fun and enjoy the experience. Let's see how well you can do against superior (elite) athletes. This is an EXHIBITION game. Let's not let that dynamic get lost in the grand scheme of things here. Liv and the rest of the team should take this game for exactly what it is...............................an exhibition. Crystal and Megan can use it as an opportunity to see "up close" what they have to look forward to in the near future when they transition to the WNBA. e.g., the physicality and the speed of the game at that level. This will be a fun and positive experience for EVERYONE participating in the game. The most important thing to me regarding this game is that NO ONE GETS HURT............ON EITHER TEAM!!! Enjoy the game everyone. :) [/QUOTE]
