Top 3 Things You Want To See Friday Night Against Stanford

… Bonus 4. Play meaningful 8-man rotation to combat Stanford depth (real, non-token mins for Ducharme & Nika)

Btw, it’s situations like this that have me wishing Geno played young posts regular min (more than strict garbage time) during BE conf games. Easier to imagine Amari and/or Piath being inserted Friday night should Liv and/or Aaliyah get in foul trouble had either/both been more acclimated to major D1 college basketball game action to this point. But almost unfair/desperate ask as-is since they haven’t.

1. Stop the Stanford drives to the basket.
2. #1 will achieve my 2nd goal of less fouls by ONO and Edwards.
3. Related to #1 and #2, Nika gets more minutes based on her ability not to foul.

Excellent points, Huskiesfan23.

I was actually nervous that NC State was going to intentionally foul Liv in OT following her poor FT shooting down stretch. Her stroke is a hard line drive with considerable backspin so very little margin for error. Amazed that she shoots as well as she does considering this heavy flat trajectory.
