All 5 ESPN WBB experts pick UW over MSU

[blacklistedbully]

Yup... for 2 reasons...the 3s will either fall or they won't...and secondly their rebounding is as good as anyone in the country. I'm not so much worried about their inside scoring. I'm speaking strictly about rebounding.

With them, their 3's usually do fall. Their rebounding has been good, but then, how many teams have they faced with big girls like ours? Their top rebounder is 6'2 and built like a cement mixer. She's been able to muscle her competition around...but will she be able to do that to McCowan or Okorie and her long arms?

In an earlier thread I also posted about my biggest concern being PLum getting the benefit-of-the-doubt from refs on charge-vs-block situations. I think the refs are going to be really reluctant to risk fouling her out in what could be her last game. We could get key players in foul trouble early, thus taking away our aggressiveness and our strong-suit.....defense.
