Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 2940212, member: 73"] In case you hadnt heard UConn is playing at ND today. Our 2 W's Williams and Walker will have the opportunity to come up big and both must must must stay our of foul trouble. IMO they will be the difference in UConn winning. Who defends our double W's? Will Shepard or Turner have to come out and defend Walker. Can they stay with her quickness? Will she be open for most of her shots? I like UConn in that matchup. Willams will either have Young or Mabrey guarding her. Either way I feel Dangerfield and Williams are to quick for Mabrey. So either way I like UConn in the match up. Critical is for UConn to stay our of foul trouble especially Walker. This is a matchup between UConns quickness and ND's size and ND's lack of a true point guard. Alot will come out of this game for both teams. This game will exploit both teams weakness's individually and as a team. It will show both coaches what they need to improve on. One thing will be for sure both teams will play only 7 players unless there is major foul trouble. Dont be surprised to see UConn play Young close and pack it in to keep ND from getting the ball inside. Mabrey is not a point guard so I would also expect to see alot of pressure put on her. This is gonna be a great game and even a better game if the ref's dont get on a pedestal and start calling ticky tack fouls. If alot of fouls are called the defense will be almost non exsistent because neither team has depth on their benches and both teams will have to back off on defense to keep from fouling. This is gonna be a terrific game sit back and enjoy it and the outcome will mean nothing because both teams will still be ranked one and two and if UConn wins they will be 1 and ND 2 and if UConn looses they will still be 2.
