Some fool must have loaded up on UConn. I don't see how these prices will last
UConn
Strengths...Geno Auriemma is the best coach on any level of basketball. Maya Moore is the best female to play the game since Reggie Miller's big sister Cheryl. We are talking 25 years. They don't foul. They out rebound every team they play despite being small. They play better offense than any team in wcb.
Weaknesses....They have a six man rotation.....two seniors, one junior, one soph, and two frosh. The sixth woman is a 5'2 senior midget that does not score. Two months ago, a super frosh from Dayton, 6'1 Samaria Walker transferred to Kentucky because she missed her girlfriend. This really killed UConn's depth. She was a nasty powerful bull dyke that could keep the likes of Baylor's 6'8 Brittney Griner out of the paint and make her shoot 10 foot jump shots. If 6'5 frosh Stephanie Dolson gets in foul trouble, it is lights out because UConn will have no one player over 6' on the floor.
Baylor
Strengths...Great coach in Kim Mulkey. She has won two championships as an AA point guard at La Tech in the early 80s, one as an assistant coach at La Tech, and one as a head coach at Baylor. Kim has an extremely talented young team led by sophomore Griner and freshman PG Odyssey Sims who lit up Oklahoma for 37 with 9 treys last week
Weaknesses...they may have lost their do everything senior team leader 6' Melissa Jones to a fluke accident. She can only see out of one eye. She will probably play in the tourney but will not be herself. Sims is a freshman and very erratic. Griner is never in position for boards. She averages 8 a game and should get 13. She allows other post players to keep her out of the paint. She should be Wilt at Kansas in '57 but she isn't. She has not progressed in her sophomore year. Good coaching and a physical presence that makes her shoot 10 foot jumpers neutralizes her
Stanford
Strengths...Coach is second to only Geno in the wimmin's game. .Big strong veteran team that had the best UConn team ever on the ropes in the championship game last year. Have two first team all-Americans in 6'4 all purpose senior Kaila Pederson and 6'2 junior Nneka Oguamike. 6' point guard Jeanette Poulan who lit up UCon for 31 is very good. Nneka's baby sister freshman 6'3 Chiney might be better than her. Pederson will hold the Pac 10 rebound record before the season is over and she shoots threes
Weaknesses.....Other than Poulan, their guard play is weak.
Tennessee
Strengths...on paper they have 9 high school all-Americans and should never lose. They are playing their best ball of the season. If they are on as they were in the SEC tourney final hitting 16 of 18 treys, nobody beats them.
Weaknesses....Pat Summitt is a dinosaur but she has won over 1000 games and 8 titles. She still thinks that you win championships by rebounding and playing defense. She should have rethought that in '03 when her team out rebounded UConn by 20 but still lost by 9. She is a weak ofensive coach. There are three Tennessee players trying to run the point, but none are very effective.
