Message: [QUOTE="yhun89, post: 5003574, member: 13470"] OOC Predictions: USC: Win, only by a slight margin. Our veteran talent in PB, Aubrey, and Azzi will overcome USC's younger talent. Kiki and Sarah will duke it out in the post. Our outside shooting will force a man to man defensive scheme, and will force their players away from double teams on our stars. We probably won't stop Juju and Kiki. But we can probably shut down Talia, Heckel, Howell, etc. SC: Hard to tell for now, but I think we lose this one. Purely health dependent. Our veteran talent is coming off injury. We have no clue about Jana. Only way we win is our perimeter shooting-it's gonna be lethal if our roster is healthy. if Jana is a beast, she could outplay Tac, and Sarah can outbound Edwards as proven already. This game could honestly be determined by a buzzer beater, we're practically equal when healthy. ND: Undetermined. Our outside shooting is equal, though we have (presumably) better 3 point percentage shooters. We both have injured/unproven posts that could determine the game. Liza and Kate could be problematic, but Sarah can easily take on Liza, and Jana remains unknown. Tenn: Win. They have to learn a new system, and we have better talent. Louisville (Tournament): Win. Randolph and Berry aren't enough IMO. We're dominant from the outside, and the inside we have Strong and Jana (who is presumably 5 star caliber talent). Randolph may cook us, but we'll cook them from the outside. USF: Win. I don't think anything needs to be said here. UNC: Win. They lost Kelly+a lot of role players. Sure, they have good talent coming in, but Toomey is off injury, and Thomas and Grant never made it to an all star roster, unlike our class. Grant also reclassified from next year to this. We also have better defense. Should we face NC State and Texas: NC State: Win. River Baldwin gave us hell last year, but she's gone now, and Weimar was very easily shut down by Holy Cross, who is way unranked. Provided we defend and shoot well, we should win. Texas: Lose. Harmon is too much for us. Booker is also really good. Granted, it was early in the season, but still. They're incredibly talented, and we win only if they shoot horribly. Last time they rained 3s.
