Pitchers´battle at Lvillle

2 of the Best Defensive Teams in the Country (and for a reason - They are both that good)
 
This will teach Jeff to schedule his non-conference games against those ranked somewhere around #150 and #230, when he had us yearning for a game, even in Louisville.

Good game, good teams, good result.

Ohio State down as well.

6 points for Van Lith

Tough game for her. Thought she looked like she might make a difference at the start of the second half with 2 quick buckets but then was defended really well. Bad Miss on open 3pt shot at end of Q3 when it would have made a dent.

Someone opined that ONO was the third best center after Boston and Collier. Cunane may be better than both of them with that vast array of shots, passing ability, etc.

Oh ok. Another good center is Kitley of VPI. Not quite up to Cunane's level on the offensive side.... but probably a better rebounder and defender.

NC State is the best team I have seen this year. They will be a handful in the tournament

As long as they don't have to play VPI or The Carolina that wears light blue.

Yes, it was a good game to watch and (I'm sure) to play in. But I think UConn would be competitive with either team (and with South Carolina, which we will see about next week).

Everyone comments on Olivia's strength deficit compared to other centers, and that is a real concern. However, she should have an offsetting speed advantage, and quite possibly a fitness advantage as well. It doesn't seem as if Boston is motivated to run the floor, and I very much doubt that Cunane could keep up with Liv on a UConn fast break. If that happens often over the course of the game, I think both of them would be worn down faster than Liv would be (and Aaliyah Edwards can do the same thing if Liv needs to sit down). And with Paige and Evina unlikely to miss an opportunity to make a touchdown pass to Liv or AE on a runout, I think UConn should have an advantage in that area.

Next week's top five will be interesting. NC State will be #1 sure.

They play in Chapel Hill on Sunday...... it's a rivalry game and the Heels are gonna be pumped.
 
Neither team could hit a open shot the first half .. not sure all this great defense talk just more like lots of bad offense .. either team will give UConn a game that’s for sure

Big difference between jr. Cunane and our jr. center. Did UCONN try recruiting Cunane?
Expand ...
Both of Cunane's parents went to NC State...she grew up a fan of the Wolfpack Women her whole life. No way was she going anywhere else if offered an opportunity to wear the Red and White. Which, thankfully, she was.
