I have a feeling we are going to have to see a lot of small ball with Addy at the 5.

Are they a full-court pressing team?

I have a feeling we are going to have to see a lot of small ball with Addy at the 5.

I could see that.

I could also see Audi just dominate a smaller girl on the glass, the key would be trying to get the ball into Audi. Michigan turns over their opponents 18 times a game, good for 78th in the country, so they could cause us trouble there.

Audi Crooks = 55 (points to match her jersey number).

Their “small” girl is also 6’3”. The closest thing we will have seen to this is playing KSU without Lee.
