Now they are a good mid level program with a good chance of making the NCAA's each year, but usually an early out.
They were completely routed in their losses - against good teams. I think they are decent this year, but we SHOULD beat them. I think Martina will give it all she's got. I am sure she has some friends on that team still.
When we lost at SFA, I remember being extremely impressed with her and she was a freshman at the time. Good passing and sharp moves. She has put on a little weight since then, but it is muscle.
They match up with us in size, but they don't have Dowdell and Johnson type athleticism in the post. If we can beat their guards (keep our turn overs low - ulike our last game), we should be able to get it inside. SFA is athletic and fast in the guard positions. They will full court us some, but not as much as Memphis did. I don't think they can keep up with the pace.
