Pressing Daniel Connolly [merged thread]

[Alydar]

I'm not sure which SC fans you are talking to but the ones that post on the BY are excited and surprised to have her. Without Cardoso last year SC led the nation in block shots and was 3 in rebounding margin. With her South Carolina will be a more formidable team and tougher to score on. In the next matchup UCONN will have to shoot much better from deep than last time (2 of 15) and BTW this game will be in Columbia, SC.

Could be an epic battle. And if you are setting the over/under for made 3's at two I'll take the over. In fact I'll say that one UConn player will make 2+ by herself.

Cardoso, like Juhasz, is insurance. SC was hurting against top opponents whenever Boston was on the bench. Before Juhasz UConn was faced with backing ONO up with a freshman or with Edwards. Both teams got what they needed. Juhasz is more of an offense threat while Cardoso's shot blocking will take some pressure off Boston.

Cardoso could work out great for S.C., I can not foresee what will happen, but this article kind of sums up why it is not a shoe-in.

Who is SC equivalent of Gasol, Drummond, Lebron and Anthony Davis? Are you insinuating that Cardoso was promised a starting spot to sign with SC? If so, good for her because UCONN wasn't offering that.

I would say she should have sought an assurance on minutes not "starting" but neither one would be enforceable in any case.
