Message: [QUOTE="FanFromMaine, post: 3084335, member: 5017"] Without any hard evidence, my sense is that the committee took KLS’s injury into account in their ranking. But as NS said, this is where UConn is. And I don’t share the worries about teams with size. UConn’s offense at Baylor was very ragged; the defense played adequately. Watching Miss St lately indicates that they are vulnerable too. AEH helps their offense but diminishes their defense. And UConn’s offense has become better as Crystal has taken charge. And Liv and Mikayla have given the defense more options. So the question seems to be can KLS contribute in the tournament? Her physical condition is obviously uncertain but, even if she is healthy, can she manage her emotions? At this point in her career, Stevie knew that hacking her was part of the game. With KLS, it often proves an effective tool to discomfort her. And her frame is less able to take what Stevie took. So, to me, if KLS plays adequately, UConn wins the tournament. [/QUOTE]
