Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3402040, member: 26"] I'm not overly concerned. We have one more game to get our heads on straight (Tulsa) before Tennessee. We just have so much more talent than they do and are better coached. Against hapless Florida, they played 10 or so with 3 bench players getting 15+ minutes or so. But against an average Georgia team, Burrell played 20 and Kushkituah played 11 minutes. I think UCONN is a little better than Georgia. In the loss to Kentucky, they got almost no bench support from anyone not named Rae Burrell so... So it will come down to starters. Lou Brown seems no better than Irwin. Davis is by far their best player so it will be interesting to see if she's matched up against Walker, and who comes out on top. Massengill has SIZE over Danger, but is not as skilled IMHO. Horston, the freshan, will have her hands full with Williams. I think a lot of it will come down to ONO vs. Key/Kushkituah. If Olivia is able to stay out of foul trouble, she's more than a match for them, even if neither center scores much. Tennessee actually does attempt to run decent offense, but more often than not it breaks down after 3-4 passes and devolves into a mosh pit - toss up a shot, and scrum for the rebound. They are bigger and longer than UCONN and will get into passing lanes on defense. UCONN has been sloppy with the ball of late and way too much standing around on offense. If UCONN gets a much needed jolt of confidence, I don't see this as a close game. But if they play like they did vs. UCF and Memphis, and Tennessee plays well, we could lose. It will all depend on which UCONN team shows up - the one who looked good before and during most of the Baylor game, or the crap team I don't recognize that has stumbled thru the past 2 games...
