Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3832155, member: 1131"] 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. [/QUOTE]
