Like any team, we shoot a lot better when we are not rushed and are in rhythm.
UConn is all pressure all the time. Can we handle that?
I think we can beat their press. They're going to press with Fudd, Arnold, and Strong. Strong is 6'1", Fudd and Arnold are below 6 foot. Bring Lauren back and inbound it to her. If she keeps the ball in the air, what are the pressers going to do? Bite her ankles? If you have Dugalic in the back court to help, then you can just pass over them. Then you've got 2 or 3 quick, good shooting players in the front court being defended by Williams and ... Quinones? That would be a big advantage.
On the flipside, we should not try to press them, they'd cut us to ribbons. Get back and get set.
