OK guys, barring a miricle from a overrated CUSA team, what will it take to beat Duke?
Obviously, Erica has to keep doing what she is doing. Who knows? Maybe this is a grand plan to get Duke concentrating on her while Amisha comes alive.
Trina will have to go up against Iciss Tillis. Iciss is dangerous because she can hit from many places. She can even nail the 3. Her weakness is her size. She is tall enough, but not strong. Frierson will need to out muscle her.
Amisha will have her work cut out against their post player (can't remember her name). Their post gets into foul trouble easily and is not consistent. So, this depends (and the game depends) on Amisha stepping it up. She has to make the open layups too.
I would probably put Amber on Alana. We may have to double team her even. She is VERY good. She, also, uses her left hand and that makes her difficult to defend. She has a giant arm span and uses it well, as well.
Tasha needs to pressure pressure pressure. She is capable of hitting a tres, as well. She needs to step up and do that to keep their defense from collapsing on our post.
Lakiste needs to step in on fire. Her speed is a great advantage and we will need every advantage out there for this one.
This game makes me nervous, I will have to admit. Duke used to not be a legit team, but now is a very legit top 2 team. We have to be focused and ready to do this. Last night was not an upset. This will be.
