This is a really good analysis and I agree with the point regarding the two national powers. Most Big East teams know they face an uphill challenge against us and may have to drastically change their normal strategies and gameplans to beat us. South Carolina on the other hand knows what they do well and figure if they do what they normally do effectively they win. When you are the best team in the land, you are not so inclined to change what you do because of the opponent.

Tennessee may have had a similar mindset, but given they are not at South Carolina's or Uconn's level, perhaps they too, should have altered their gameplan to the one lessor teams have had great success with. Opponents have figured out how to attack this line-up, and only Caroline getting back to form and an Azzi return can make a substantial change in that. The usual 5 starters is the hand we were dealt during this rough period, and maybe there are some minor changes we can make, but there are flaws with this combination that other teams have figured out, and right now we do not have the pieces to counter that until we get more off the bench.
