Thank you MT! My internet went down part way through posting my preview and I did not know until hours later whether all, some, or none of what I had written got saved. The answer: some, but you filled in very well for the portion that didn't.
I agree with you that the Virginia team may be even more of a challenge than Virginia Tech. Tech was the better team on paper, but given that we won't have Agara the size mis-match against Virginia will be more substantial. Latasha Lattimore, at 6'4" and a senior, and the teams second leading scorer, will be difficult for us to defend. I think we have to hope that Demetre and Umeh can find a way to do it without fouling. We were told at the last chalk talk that Demetre has been concentrating on her defense--but collecting fouls as she did in the last game won't get it done against Lattimore.
Lattimore, by the way, is one of those perennial transfers, starting at Texas, going to Miami, and finishing at Virginia.
