With the preseason expectations of winning it all to all the injuries and many were hopeless thinking we may lose 10 or more games and now look at us. We will be facing Duke this weekend. They are young and very good. Kara is a great teacher and coach. They've come a long way too. I noticed and it seemed that alot of fouls were called in alot of games. We can not get in foul trouble. If we do, just like Nika fouling out in the last game our defense is vulnerable. I think we have enough offense to over come alot but not having starters on the floor could hurt us.
Paige and Aaliyah should be fine. I expect Dukes defense to key on Ash Paige and Aaliyah which means Nika and KK need to find ways to score. Paige and Aaliyah's experience should carry them. Alot of their opportunities to score will come from Paige penetrating and dishing off to her team mates.
This is the time when Paige does her thing. Dukes youth will not be able imo to control Paige shes one of a kind and not since DT have I seen a player like Paige. I believe it all comes down to staying out of foul trouble and creating turnovers. We will get our steals and I expect we will rebound better then we did against Cuse. Paige and Aaliyah will carry us through this game. This game will depend on UConn forcing turnovers which is Dukes weakness and UConn staying out of foul trouble.
I like UConn in this game. I believe Dukes turnovers will kill them. I also believe if Uconn gets in foul trouble this game will be very close. Paige will shine bright and that will be the difference. We've come along way this season and we aint finished yet.
