Message: [QUOTE="jabstep, post: 3899897, member: 10340"] There is no dominant team this year in WCBB. It will come down to defense which can always be on, how a team shoots that day, coaching, and matchups. UConn has a very good defense with good on-ball pressure with Nika and overplay on other perimeter players. They have Liv as the rim protector if the guards get beat off the dribble or on a back door, Liv is there to stop them. Arkansas got Liv away from the basket with the player Live was guarding standing at the 3 point line and Dunggee had a field day exposing our guard's man-on-man defense. That is the only weakness we have on defense is when we play against little ball but it exposes the other team on defense. With Edwards and Griffin, we can match up against teams such as Baylor. Coaching is in our favor because Geno has been there before and won. Matchups we can handle. It will all depends on how we shoot that day when we get to the elite 8 and onward. We have Paige, so I pick UConn over Stanford in a nail-biter. [/QUOTE]
