I'm an overly optimistic person at nature so I'd like to thread about some positive attributes that make this UConn team one of the most dangerous teams and a super #2 seed.

1. No other team in the field has three #1 high school players in Paige, Azzi and Sarah. These are players who had to score on teams under duress every night. healthy the base of these three is a rock solid foundation. Any one of these players can go off for 30 and if you key in on one, they others two will step up.
2. Aubrey Griffin - She is the game changer that I think has been missing from a lot of these runs and against elite teams like Notre Dame and USC, Aubrey can match the speed, physicality and well rested - this is her final chance to prove her WNBA stock. She'll be ready.
3. Ashlynn and KK - I almost forget they come off the bench because they come in and look like starters. They have a defensive and offensive integer they can put in the game depending on the match up.
4. Jana El Alfy - What she showed at South Carolina was that when she stakes are high, she will play her best. I hope that pattern keep going because at 6-5, UConn will need her.

I like all four of your attributes. I'd rank them in this order. #2 first. I'm not sure about the severity of Aubrey's knee. If it's minor she'll be a huge factor coming off the bench.

#4 second. Jana's certainly got the ability to make a serious impact but it's an unknown until we see her do it.

#3 third. KK and Ash have both proven they can get the job done from both this year and last years play. There's no reason to think they won't bring the same great play this post season.

#1 fourth. All three being #1's is interesting but their ability to, each, change the course of a game has been shown throughout the season. That shouldn't change.
