Great report.
I have a feeling fouls are going to be one of the keys to the game.
I'm thrilled and gobsmacked that Nika had zero fouls against Duke.
That won't happen against USC, but if her mindset is to avoid fouls, maybe she will avoid a silly foul that could be a game changer.

I'm SO content that we made the elite 8 with the people we have in sweats on the bench. It's house money from here on out. We made the elite 8 with half our line up on the bench! And our great subs on the bench too. So we did it!!!!

I see the overall size of USC to be a big problem in a grind out game. Uconn has to get Ashlynn some shots, somehow. I belive Huskies have a quickness advantage , but how do they exploit it without more bodies ? Can they turn USC over ? I love Nika , but her inability to score in the type of game really hurts. I can't wait to see how the teams match up on the floor. Who is going to guard JuJU ? Cannot miss layups and FT's.

Same problem we've had all year. Nothing we can do about it. Our center is on the bench in sweats. I know there is disagreement about this, but I think by now she would have been great.

If our group can be strong on the defensive glass, I like their chances. If USC gets a ton of O boards, it may get grim. |

Can Nika stay out of foul trouble guarding a larger player who specializes in drawing fouls? Enquiring minds want to know....

Agree, foul trouble and second chance points. Bleed Blue.
