A difference maker has been Carolina's 60 total rebounds, including 25 offensive rebounds! Remember we gave up 24 o-boards to a smaller South Florida team, so we will really need to box out and limit their second chance opportunities.
It was tough stopping Cooke last year in the national semis and I don't see anyone on our roster this year either that can match her speed and agility to the basket.
Lexie and Lacie will give it a try.
For sure. Jump will also need to guard one of Cooke/Henderson. I also agree with other posters that Agnes could play a big role as a defensive stopper this year. I'd like to see her play more to get a better feel for her quickness. If she can stay in front of players like Cooke, her strength and length could cause them serious problems. Feeling like we need to put some length on her because she had her way with Anna and Ki in the national semi's. Although we won that game, en route to a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Just wanted to type that.
Also, So Carolina isn't the same team without Destanee Henderson. They looked sloooow today. Maryland got lots of points in transition. Agree w/Marty though - I felt better about our chances after watching them play today.
