Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 4164838, member: 73"] Tonites game will be a big game. Oregon is not the team they were. They were hurt by injuries to 6'7 Prince, 6'5 Sabally and Paopao. Theyre all back with a couple of games under their belt. We will see where our depleted UConn team is. Will we revert back to where we were a concern of many posters or our we on a new mission and continue to play UConn BB? Ive read the posts and many of us have our doubts about where we are. Thats understandable based on where we were and what we've shown over the past couple of games. Tonite the seniors need to step up and play like they have the last 2 games. The seniors need to take charge. This game much like any game is not about strength, its about our mental attitude. We need to come into this game with a winning attitude and no doubts. Nikas energy intensity and enthusiasm should help that. My biggest concern tonite comes from the blow up by Coach Barnes of AZ in Oregons last game. It had alot to do with fouls being called on her team and their foul trouble. The fouls were almost 2 to 1. Im hoping that doesnt transfer to our game tonite. Foul trouble with a short bench would really hurt us. Im going into todays game thinking we will use our speed defense and rebounding while Oregon will most likely like to slow it down. Im looking for us to get it going early and often. It should be a dog fight with UConn winning. [/QUOTE]
