I would like to see Tara give Prechtel, Betts, Belibi, and Bosgana 20+ minutes (or close to it) in this game. The first three are Colorado natives so it would be nice to give them extra PT at their home state, especially if they have family and friends in attendance. More importantly, we can expect an ugly, physical game from CU. Prechtel and Betts both have the bulk and physical strength to push bakc and prevail. Belibi and Bosgana are very aggressive. These four can match and exceed CU's aggressiveness and physicality. 

Betts struggles going 20 minutes at sea level; I don't think she will do well getting 20 minutes of playing time at altitude.

BC

She grew up, and as recent as last year, playing at altitude. And I suspect she played a minimum of 20 minutes each game.

All true, but she was playing at HS game speed, not at the speed and physicallity of the college game

Physicality isn't affected by altitude. Of course, speed of college game is faster,but she has to deal with that in all games regardless of where played. In HS, she still had to run up and down the court and I doubt if she ran slower than she does now. Altitude will have no significant effect on her.
