UCLA returns 3 starters - Billings (17 pts/16 rebounds last season), Burke (5 pts/4 rebs), Canada (20 pts/11 assists) against UCONN. Hayes played 19 minutes (3/2). Burke appears to have improved. She had 19 pts against Baylor. UCLA has a lot young players. Drummer had 9 boards against Baylors while UCLA was out rebounded by 14 boards. They have two AA caliber players Billings and Canada. Considering the UCONN starters' talent and conditioning, it would seem UCONN should win by 15-20. Only Stevens or Gabby getting into foul trouble could jeopardize the final score. Canada was leaps and bounds better than Dangerfield last season. This will be a really good game to measure just how big a sophomore jump Dangerfield has made. Canada had 20 pts and 11 assists against Baylor. Billings scored 21 against Brown and company. [/QUOTE]
