Message: [QUOTE="Bajan Best, post: 2570802, member: 7387"] I could be wrong here, but I'll state a few things If UCONN shoots the ball well, no one is beating them this year. People keep talking about teams with bigs, I'm still looking for a team where the BIGS dominated UCONN, We shot poorly and Mississipi State barely won last year, with their big spending a lot of the game on the bench, UCONN is too athletic at that position and typically move the ball and shoot too well for opposing bigs to be the major catalyst in a loss, because, those bigs are usually out of breath and in foul trouble pretty much the entire game. Teams that usually give us problems are those who are just as athletic, who play very physical on both ends and are confident/fearless on offense (Take the open shot). Teams who's scoring comes on running plays for one or two players will always have problems scoring on a team coached by Geno... So having a player like Durr who can get her own shot and score from anywhere on the floor in transition can be very problematic. Transition defense will be key to either team. Our team is limping at the moment at 65% on the health meter and this is not currently one of the better UCONN defensive teams for whatever reason. Our last game saw a relatively small team rebound the ball well against us, Injuries and fatigue most likely playing a key role in that. It should be an interesting game which to me could go either way. Whichever team shoots the ball well for 30+ mins and get back on D will probably win with relative ease. My prediction if both teams play well, Huskies by 15. [/QUOTE]
