Folks may be interested in reviewing our last USC game thread.  This was the game after our two game losing streak.

We seem to have a major rebounding advantage against USC, and last game we shot the three well.  But we turned the ball over way too much.

USC is shooting much, much better now than when we last played them.  If our defense cannot reduce that, then we will have to improve in every other way--most especially in keeping turnovers down and keeping rebounding up.  We should have advantages in the post, which will mean that USC will clog the paint and take its chances with the three.  Hannah Jump had a good game last time--we may need an even better game from her this time.

Brink was not such a focus last time--if we can find a way to feed it to her inside the zone then USC will fall.  But ASU turned the ball over repeatedly trying to feed the ball inside.  The USC zone is active and deflects many inside passes.  We may need to splash some threes to loosen the zone up enough for Brink to be able to receive passes.
