It will be Arizona vs UConn at the Final Four. Who Guards or how does UConn defend Aari McDonald? She's the go to player for Arizona and UConn doesn't have the quickness to cover her. Will we have a similar result on how Morgan Williams of Miss St beat UConn? Arizona is not a team to overlook. How many balls has Aari stolen tonight because the Indiana players wasn't paying attention to where Aari was.

Call and raise. Who guards Paige? Who guards Aaliyah? Who guards Christyn? How in heck do they deal with Olivia? But agree - not a team to overlook & don't anticipate Geno will.

Please, everyone knows Arizona is going to get steamrolled and it's not even close.

Was anyone else disturbed by the fact that Indiana went straight into the lockerroom? No post-match handshake? Did Baylor do the same thing? Is that a thing now? Or am I just getting more crotchety with age? Lol

You act like it will be a close game....I see UConn by 20 or more.

That's how it has been in the women's tournament. In the men's tournament you often see a few handshakes and daps being exchanged postgame.

Christyn on McDonald, with the whole team helping is the way to go. I personally would shut her down and force the other players to score. They are not an offensive team. She had half of their points tonight and had 31 of their 74 against A&M. Force the others to win the game.

AU has very little size or post play. They score points by 3-pointers & off turnovers. UConn should have their inside-outside game going with a lot of easy looks. Need to make them though. Dont want this to be a close game. McDonald can win a game by herself if its very close - she's a playmaker.

Carolyn Peck said Baylor would win the tournament. Now she’s saying, look to the other side of the bracket—ie, Stanford, Louisville, Texas or S Carolina. She doesn’t like UConn.
That’s not at all what she said when you take into context the previous conversation. First there was discussion about the fact that some we’re saying the UConn/Baylor game was the de facto championship. She was then asked whether anyone could stand in UConn’s way. That’s when she said look to the other side of the bracket, meaning she doesn’t expect Arizona to pose a threat to our reaching the Finals.

And she was the only broadcaster to point out that Baylor also got away with numerous uncalled fouls.

No crazy home run passes. AZ will pick them off. Play quick, but take your time. Hope to see Olivia score more. Don't expect Olivia and Aaliyah to get into foul trouble again.

Yes, Caroline did. Said that in another post. Good for you, cabbie191.

If UConn wins the NC, the tournament officials should have antonelli and peck present the trophy to Geno. That would be a Kodak moment. Then the next week, Geno could send both of them an autographed photo of that moment. They both would probably laugh when they received it, then put it in their birdcage. ?

Both them staying on the floor was a prerequisite for UConn to win. Did you notice the momentum change when Aaliyah went out? ?
