Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4445786, member: 73"] Keep in mind we have shooters who stay outside. We werent on the line at all against Iowa until the end of the game. With that said we may not see the flops and fouls that we saw in past ND games. ND will have to come out and guard us. Edwards is gonna be a load for ND to guard. Im not sure they can contain her one on one. As big as Texas NC State and Iowa were they couldnt handle Edwards. Azzi and Lou will get alot of attention which means who ever guards them will be running around alot. We are a better rebounding team then we were last season and we are a better scoring team then last season. Another point is we have 2 great defenders in Nika and Aubrey who can slow down Citron and Miles and that will cause alot of frustration. If ND loses their composure and gets frustrated this game could be over early. We have shown Nika and Edwards can stay out of foul trouble. In some past ND games that doesnt matter because there were other UConn teams that were known for not fouling but were called for fouls at ND. Mainly flops. If UConn stays out of foul trouble UConn will cruise to victory. Many of you are concerned about teams with height and all the tall players on opponents teams. Remember in most cases they all those tall players cant play at the same time. Typically tall players play inside. Remember when one of the Oregon teams had alot of tall players? Most of them sat the bench. If bigs cant handle the ball and create their own shot imo it doesnt make much difference. ND will be tuff but I think we are a better team then last season. It will be a struggle but our foul shooting late in the game will solidify our win. [/QUOTE]
