UConn Was Very Focused and Intense...

..and I thought it showed itself early on in their pursuit of loose balls and attacking the basket for weak-side cuts and rebounds.

We had our chance to tie it and the end of the second quarter and couldn't quite get it there. Then they took "our" third quarter and that seemed to affect our composure. Weirdly, I thought Arike looked a bit disengaged in the 2nd half until she lost it in the fourth quarter.

Mostly, I think we need to rethink how we can address them next time out...not sure we have the quickness to stick with them with a man to man defense.

Also, it will help for Marina to get more miles on her and it would be nice to have Jordan Nixon in to give some minutes. Plus, let Patterson play a bit more...she has willing and able legs to hit the boards against Walker.
