Well, the UCF WBB Head Coach has excellent credentials, so it is probably more of an institutional problem. 

I see what you did there ...

I hope she doesn't play in that one. Rest her for what essentially is one of our 3 biggest games of the year. 

We know what we will get from Jenkins and Williams if they are healthy and play up to their potential. To me, the real X factor in the UCONN game will be the guard play from Stringfield and Flores and our ability to hit the 3 pointer. if we can hit 40+% of our treys and Stringfield protects the ball and defends well, we will have a puncher's chance. In last season's games against UCONN Stringfield went 0-8 (lost by 42), 2-8 (lost by 23), and 6-10 (lost by 14) from the field.

I think the person who could really make a difference this year is freshman Kitija Laksa. If we let her loose to shoot the three-pointer, it might take some pressure off of Courtney.

From last night:

"Latvian freshman Kitija Laksa led USF with a career-high 21 points — 4-for-8 on 3-pointers."
