Dream match-up:  Stanford vs UConn in 2nd National Semifinals match on April Fools Day!

Defensive Match-ups between Starting Line-ups:

5'9 WILSON vs. 5'11 BUECKERS
6'1 HULL vs. 5'11 FUDD
6'0 HULL vs. 5'10 WILLIAMS
6'1 JONES vs 6'2 EDWARDS
6'4 BRINK vs. 6'5 NELSON-ODODA

I think actually Lacie gets Paige. Paige really likes to elevate on her jumpers (ala Rori on Texas), so could use a taller defender. Anna is great at denying perimeter players so will do well on Azzi

Yeah, I see 1 of the Hulls on Paige; and maybe Wilson on Williams

---

I think we'll put Anna on Fudd. She is exactly the type of player that Anna shuts down. Not overly physical, no dribble pullup to shoot over her. About 60% of her shots are catch and shoot 3's. She has a quick release, but she doesn't really like to shoot contested three's. She cannot be left wide open. 
Hulls on Paige and Williams.
Jones on Edwards
Brink on Nelson-Ododa

I think we matchup really well. 

As Teejers has noted, we have to contain Buecker's pullup J - it's got to be a major part of the scout. I think Anna will keep Fudd in check, so if we can do a reasonable job on Paige then I think we'll win. I don't think the other players can score enough to beat us. We like to chase over the top of screens. Will be interesting to see if we still do that or something different (hedge hard or even switch?).  I'm sure Tara has a good strategy in mind :>

Last note at T-4 days...Hannah Jump could play a major role in this one. UConn does not get up in the passing lanes like Maryland and Texas. She can get open against UConn.
