Message: [QUOTE="Conndog, post: 5212535, member: 5939"] Both ND and USC’s top players (Hidalgo, Watkins) make a living at driving to basket and hurling themselves against defender to draw fouls. If refs allow that to happen and reward them, so much the better for their team’s chances. Maintaining defensive position isn’t easy against them, but they do favor one side when driving- have to overplay them to some extent to deny that lane. UConn is playing great basketball on both sides of the ball. I’m intrigued by Ice’s return- she is one more big who may be very effective in the tourney. She looked quicker than I remember- certainly she’s in best shape and conditioning that I can recall. UConn is really deep this year, all healthy and hungry! [/QUOTE]
