While USF lists three guards in their starting lineup, the always dangerous Ukranian bomber, Orekhova, is one of them, and she is all of 6'2". I am not sure if Geno will start Banks or not, but I could see our BIG 3 getting a lot of time against their starters with KML out.
Stewie is one of the few players on any team with both the length and mobility to guard Orekhova on the perimeter. Stef can take their 6'4" center, and Stokes can take the 6'1" forward. I think this would be a better matchup than trying to have Banks chase Orekhova around screens and harass her at the 3-pt line. Other than the bomber, if we can limit Williams a little better this time we should be golden.
It will be interesting to see how much zone Geno goes with. (Could be quite a bit, unless Orekhova lights it up, which she is surely capable of, or Williams finds the gaps too easily).
