Boston on Cochran 6’3” I count this as a win. Dixon is the sub, taller but same result, Boston wins on D.

Saxton on Engstler 6’1” this is a really important matchup. Saxton must keep her off the offensive glass. Must also occupy her when we are on O, so she cannot double.

Henny on Van Lith 5’7” this matchup HAS to be my Waffle House hash browns order smothered and covered. Expect Bree Hall on her when she is in the game.

Cooke on Hall 5’7” Hall is not much of an offensive threat. I count this as a win.

Beal on Smith6’1” she is their second leading scorer. If Beal shuts her down it puts a lot of pressure on other players

Engstler is at her best when she gets the rebound and gets out on the fast break. Saxton can counter by being her usual beast-like self on the offensive glass. Make Engstler work and pick up fouls.

Also, rewatching the Creighton game I was blown away by Amihere's defense. She's absolutely amazing. To say a player can "guard anyone on the player" is a cliche that doesn't apply to many players, tbh. Amihere, however, is one of those rare players. I'm looking forward to her matching up with Engstler.

I agree about Amihere on "D", she is real good. Her issue that keeps her from playing more is her offense. Once in a while it is amazing but many times she is to slow to react to whats going on and the defense can trap her and steal the ball, then she responds with a foul. She HAS to get better at court awareness on offense.

Nice rundown. By how much do we win this game?

Several scenarios, close fourth quarter game, 10 -12 point fourth quarter game if we wear them down on depth and fouls, we have a day and look out L’ville. Worst case scenario is bad shooting and a ton of turnovers
I think it will be the 10-12 scenario. I expect it will be a rock fight. 60 points should win this game
