Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 2570268, member: 7171"] I am confident UConn will win. But, any UConn fan who sweated out the ND win, and then saw Louisville dismantle ND, has to be at least a bit apprehensive. Playing in Gampel is a huge advantage. The ND game was in Louisville. (FWIW, Louisville is only a drive of a little over an hour to Columbus.) IMHO if Kia defends Durr the way I expect she will, Louisville will not be able to score enough to win. But, it will be a real challenge as Durr is the real deal. Gabby may be involved on Durr as well. UConn hasn`t really been burned by an opposing guard yet this year. Charles for Maryland had 29 but a lot of those were in the fourth quarter after the game had long been decided. Mabrey and Ogunbowale combined for 40 points but took a combined 40 shots. Atkins and McCarty played well but each scored 14, didn`t go crazy. Bianca Jackson had 20 for South Carolina, probably as good as any guard against UConn this year, but she was not our primary focus obviously, and Harris and Cliney combined for only 8 points. Then there`s Laksa, of course, goose egg city. So Kia, get ready and stay out of foul trouble. From what little I have seen, Christyn Williams and Asia Durr seem to be cut from the same cloth. Lefties, smooth, good handle, deadly from three. [/QUOTE]
