Why are sold out Arena's not good for the home team against UCONN?

[jsloanjr]

Looking back over the past 1o+ years, teams that have played in front of their 1st full house have not played well against UCONN. Ask ND, UNC, OK, Tenn, RU and more........Geno knows how to get his team ready to throw the 1st punch and to continue punching until the other teams just gives up..........playing in front of hostile crowds is nothing new for UCONN and they feed off them quite well......IMO, UCONN will try to force USC into a jump shooting team and not their bread and butter inside game......Let the chess match begin!!!

Who gets into foul trouble early will set the tone........

SC like TN before them is used to playing in front of very large houses - the increase from 15K and 18K is not going to be appreciably different for them, unlike for many Uconn opponents in the 'full house' list where the full house was double or more of their standard home crowd.

The added pressure of playing before the 1st sell-out crowd in South Carolina history, shouldn't be underestimated.

Remember...............except for the two freshmen, this team has played in front of large crowds before (last year at ND and the FF).

Gabby hasn't... she was available but didn't play. She'll be ready this year

UCONN's defense is the difference.......If UCONN shuts down the inside game, USC will have trouble scoring the ball......DEFENSE-DEFENSE

No worries if Dee is running the show.

Tonite on the big stage expect Stewie to put on a show. SC is to slow to guard her. UConn will shine tonite.

Can't wait. I'll be there20 rows from the court wearing national flag blue and white in a sea of dejected red.
