Message: [QUOTE="Coach, post: 2035868, member: 7789"] Just a few questions and my opinion – Will Lou’s slump continue from the beyond the arc? Hopefully not. She’s due to breakout of the slump. Will SC’s guards get crazy hot and start raining 3’s? Unlikely, but you never know Can SC run with UCONN the whole game? SC will be well rested but Coates and Wilson will tire in the 4th quarter as I don’t see Dawn resting them much. Can UCONN keep Coates and Wilson from the glass? Not sure. They are very talented Just a few thoughts – I wonder how the refs will be calling the game – ticky tac fouls or will they let them play? Offensively, I am not sure if SC can withstand one of their Bigs in foul trouble - more Wilson than Coates. Defensively, I’ll be generous and call it a wash and not give an advantage to either team. Although I think Pheesa and Gaby will try to pull Coates and Wilson away from the basket, I do not think SC will go too far out if Gabby is too far past the free throw line. I think SC will dare her to shoot. Gabby will knock some down but her jump shot is not consistent enough yet. The UCONN guards will need to attack, attack and attack some more. SC is so talented UCONN will have some balls blocked but hopefully they can draw some fouls forcing Coates or Wilson to spend some quality minutes on the bench. Which leads me to the difference maker – Lou. Lou? Yes Lou. I think Pheesa and Gabby will have their hands full on both ends of the floor - I will be happy if it’s a draw. Lou has the length that when she drives to basket it’ll be very difficult to defend. She has the height to shoot over other guards especially when she runs curls by the free throw line. I don’t think SC has anyone outside of Wilson who is tall and quick enough to cover her and SC will not have Wilson cover Lou. I am looking forward to a really good game. My prediction is UCONN 78-66 [/QUOTE]
