Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 2659079, member: 6488"] Starting early this time around, Tony. Usually it seems we have to wait for your benediction until closer to playing. But we'll take it. Lucky Buddha gets his belly-rub, and the Huskies take ND apart. (Whether my wife will let me wear my UConn togs for the second time in a week is questionable. The underwear will definitely be deemed toxic and forbidden. Hate to handicap the ladies.) However, the Irish do present a problem. Their 5 is a brute; really drops her ample size on anyone in her path. They have outside shooters, and at least one player who looks like an athlete (Young). And their coach is the 2nd best in the business. As for knowing how to beat UConn, it's easy: just score with them. Once you get behind (and the Huskies have been ahead in every minute of every game this tourny), you generally don't catch up. ND caught Oregon because the Ducks stopped quacking in the second half. UConn won't. As satisfying as it would be to set Muffet back on her tuffet and watch Marina scowl, obviously we'll settle for a W in any way it comes. [/QUOTE]
