Shoni comments

During halftime of the game, Shoni said she couldn't shake free and she hadn't seen that level of defense before. I wonder what a full dose of Kelly will do to her? Tuesday's gonna be a blast!

I don't expect Slaughter will get open for many 3 point looks with Stewie guarding her. Slaughter was one of the primary reasons they beat Baylor and won tonight. She made 6 3's tonight and if I recall correctly 7 against Baylor.

Yeah, I agree, that's not going to happen.

I believe that LV has always had a problem matching our roster and putting enough healthy impact players on the floor to play against teams that had deeper benches and/or better starting fives. They solved that against Baylor by hitting an insane number/percentage of threes. It could happen again but I don't think it is likely. Not many teams out there have played defense as well as we have this year and disrupted the offense of other teams as much as we have. The thing that makes us special is we play superior defense AND superior offense to almost anyone else. It's a very tall order for an opponent to impact both for their benefit in a game. It's more likely that we can take away their most effective scoring options, and get their post players in foul trouble so that they can't do what they really want to do on defense and offense.

Slaughter will not be shooting 3s against Breanna at the top of the key or anywhere else. That is 39 of L-ville's points in the last two games.

UConn's stats on the year naturally overwhelm LVille's in almost every category, and UConn takes and makes far more 3-pters, so perimeter shooting is more a Husky strength, though the Cards and especially Slaughter can get hot when teams slack off. Not a likelihood against the Huskies.

The one place where the Cardinals are even with the Huskies is on forced TO's, and they average a few more takeaways per game than UConn and their TO margin is almost the same. If UConn takes care of the ball, all should be fine, and even if they do have a relatively high number of TOs like last night, as long as they take it to the hoop they'll be in control.
