Coming out to defend her is exactly what we want them to do.  That will remove a "big" from the interior and give us more room to maneuver.  Prechtel is also a very good passer and the high-low look could be very effective if she is passing to Brink or Belibi or Jones around the basket or on cuts to the basket. 

Basically, for the Princeton motion offense to work well, everyone needs to be a threat since this opens up space for movement.

This is an interesting news story about South Carolina's win over Duke:

South Carolina overwhelmed them with rebounding.

SC played mainly its starters for the whole contest except for Destiny Littleton who cam off the bench to hit 3/6 three point shots.

Both Tennessee and SC hang their hats on their rebounding. We match up great against these teams because 1) We can hang with them on the boards and 2) As a team we play faster than them and they somehow have to counter that. 

In last year's Final Four game, they did outrebound us, but only by 4, and Boston got 16 of them. On our side, we aren't as reliant on Cam. We have a bunch of rebounders including Lexie (who had 13 boards in that game!), Haley, and Lacey plus our post depth. And, as you noted 81, without Destinee Henderson the majority of their minutes come from 6 players. A tightly called game would benefit us more. So we probably won't see that. I'm expecting a really physical game and I hope we run them into the ground.
