Interesting to note that this game will feature all the #1 overall recruits over the past 4 years - UConn's Christyn WILLIAMS (2018), Stanford's Haley JONES (2019), UConn's BUECKERS (2020) and UConn's FUDD (2021), and JONES is the only one who could play 4 positions (PF/SF/SG/PG).
Having mentioned that, this is the game where Haley JONES should take over and dominate, because they don't have anybody to match up against her.
UConn will most likely only have two forwards in NELSON-ODODA and Aaliyah EDWARDS since JUHASZ was injured in the NC State game. Tara should alternate between a 4-guard line-up (HULL twins/WILSON/JONES with BRINK) and a 3-forward line-up (BRINK/BELIBI/JONES with HULL/WILSON) and let JONES do her thing in both scenarios. In the first scenario, JONES will be pitted against Aaliyah EDWARDS and she has the speed and overall skill advantage. In the 2nd scenario, she will most likely be matched up against either Christyn WILLIAMS or FUDD, and she has the height and overall skill advantage.
