Message: [QUOTE="baylorprof, post: 3896752, member: 2066"] Hello to the Boneyard. With absolutely NO inside information, . . . calling it now. Should we get the E8 matchup, Didi Richards will not be guarding Buechers (which normally she would, drawing the best opponent backcourt). Don't have a clue who will. Maybe a platoon of Ursin and Jordan Oliver. That would be conceding a whole lot going against the best guard in the nation. Ursin is our quickest defender and has a high motor for 4 entire quarters. Oliver is not ready for prime time, but she's the next quickest guard off the bench. Sarah Andrews simply has not gotten the court time this season, and when she has, she hasn't seemed to dial in to high intensity defense up to KMulkey's standards. I've gone on record on our board so I'm not saying anything new here, Didi was a legit defensive POY last year. But that was guarding an opponent's #3 or #4 and staying in the paint to rebound. Not so this year. Who knows? No one has solved the Buecher's problem yet, have they? State of Texas is now 100% open from Covid. Might the NCAA announce blocks of general admission tickets are available to participating schools? Wishful thinking. [/QUOTE]
