Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4272780, member: 73"] We had the ball in the hands of the right players and we have alot of very very good guards. Stanford had the height and they too have good guards but our guards performed better last nite. A couple good big things have happened since we got healthy and let me say I dont think we are at 100% health wise. We dont worry about what happened the last play we are more concerned about what to do the next play. When we need a basket we know who needs to be handling the ball and those guys make plays. Most importantly we are not letting a bad play get us down, we are making a play to offset the previous play. Over the past few games we have been playing as a team with our guards leading the way. Poise Execution and Confidence have led the way. Now we played a Stanford and NC State both having very good post players and some height and we won. We won with good guard play. Paige and Azzi are drawing alot of attention and they are performing without forcing anything knowing they have a team behind them who will make plays. SC depends on Boston to make plays and they seem to go to her often when they need a basket. UConn has Paige and Azzi and I have to wonder if SC's defense can keep up with them for 40 minutes. Next up SC. Both teams are much improved since the beginning of the season. UConn is much more improved. UConns defense is much better and we have more players then we did earlier in the season who can step up. SC bigs are going to be running around trying to keep up with us and imo thats an advantage for UConn. Boston is really tuff but so are Paige and Azzi. So to win the game lets keep it simple. Execute Geno's game play. Maintain poise and play with the confidence that got us here. We have alot of options and are not depending on one player the entire game. I pick UConn by 5 pts in a thriller. [/QUOTE]
