Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4161920, member: 26"] Xavier is the 2nd worst team in the BE - but a fair bit better than Butler. They did lose to Marquette by 30, and beat Butler by 22. They have close losses to Creighton (16) and Providence (5). But for UCONN, getting Nika back is much needed relief for the PG duties and running the team. I thought she was one of the most important players on the floor for UCONN - in spite of not scoring. She was all energy and intensity and I thought the team, including Evina, looked better when she was playing. I would be disappointed if we don't beat Xavier by at least 25. I'm going to guess a 30+ point win. Hopefully we continue to improve every game as more and more of the injured return, and as the rest of the team re-acclimates to life without Paige. I liked our defense against Butler and LOVED the full court soft press, even tho we were thin on the bench. UCONN 81 Xavier 47 [/QUOTE]
