By this logic, we beat UConn last year, not lose by 36

Again, they are the undefeated champs who beat us by 36 last year in a game that wasn't even that close.

Then, when we played a similar team this year (FF quality, who is athletic and presses), we fell behind by 24 in the first half.

I **think** CLW and Kiki have really improved since that loss, probably to the degree that we can beat either of those teams, BUT until we do, that's what is the most likely outcome again.

It is no coincidence that the team most like them gave us the most trouble in the B1G tourney - Ohio St.

That game showed us what we need to do - DON'T TURN THE BALL OVER so we can set our defense.
