VanDerveer said afterwards the PAC-12 was the toughest conference (I think RPI somewhat agrees) and especially on the defensive end but points were hard to come by and the game was very physical and wasn't called close at all, at least by my observation.
Slow or fast---my typing gets so out of control---my hands make up words all by themselves---don't feel alone in letters--they take onSonetines I type too fast amd get ny "N's" amd "M's" nixed up!

) and even though I think Stanford is no offensive juggernaut, I do not want Katie Lou to knock her sister out of the FF. That would be cruel.
Lose? Lose? No, not lose, get revenge! I want affirmation that we can beat anyone anytime!
Yeah they tried that in last year's tourney and found themselves down 50 at half time. For the sake of competitiveness, hopefully having a year to think about it will yield a more effective strategy this time around.
Had them last year and the game was over in the first 5 minutes. The only bathing we did was sun bathing....
This after we beat Lexie and Duke right.
The question boils down to which team would UConn have the LEAST trouble with? That's why Miss. St. is leading the poll. Then there are those of us--including me--who would like to play Stanford. I have two reasons: one, the revenge factor (can't beat the Cardinal often enough or badly enough); two, love to see the super-competitive Samuelsons go at it. This is a trio of sisters who have been trying to throttle each other since childhood and beyond. Big sister Bonnie usually got the best of it; Karlie, the shy one and shortest one, is appropriately ferocious. Lou is the better shooter, Karlie the better defender. The sisters say that Karlie will be on Lou if they play, and Lou says she dreads having Karlie guard her because her older sister knows her so well. Tara chips in that Karlie has become more of an all-around player this year, not just a 3-pt specialist. We know how much Lou has grown into a more complete player. How could we NOT want to see this match-up w/in the match-up? Remember UConn Rule #4: Have Fun!
I absolutely don't think Karlie would have any advantage over Katie Lou, at this point. Maybe last year but KLS has been seasoned and she is easily the best Samuelson, both as a shooter and in her all-around game. I'd prefer not to have them play one another because I don't want to think about the REMOTE outside possibility that Stanford would stop another record run by the Huskies. I believe in curses a little bit, I guess.
