Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 3863392, member: 175"] They actually did best the couple times when Henderson covered her. Cooke got toasted back door 5 or 6 times, and Paige seemed to get clean looks against Beal, who made her work, but ultimately couldn’t stop her. The turnover when Nika threw the ball to Evina came after Henderson fought around a couple screens and denied the passing lane to Paige on the other wing. Stanford has a little guard (Wilson) who could be a pest in that regard, but that would be a FF matchup so we’ll deal with that if the time comes. DiDi Richards could be a problem in an EE matchup with her long arms, bothering shots that Paige is used to getting off cleanly. I’m sure there are other specialists who could make her life difficult, or schemes that’ll take the ball out of her hands (Nika finding her 3 ball down the stretch is important, or else teams can sag off her to the FT line and take away all the curls and midrange stuff that Paige likes). But then again, it’s not supposed to be easy. [/QUOTE]
