Hey, everybody. Welcome to Good Follow presented by DraftKings. I'm Trista Crick. We got a special guest. Ooh, it's me, producer Jess. What's going on, Trista? What up, girl? We had to put Juju in timeout. You filled in like a champ that you are. It's March Madness. Things are getting mad here. And sad here because the season's coming to a close. We're going to have to talk about this final four.
Yeah, we're going to get right into it. The final four is set and it's the battle of the one seeds yet again. Today, we're going to be picking up our coaching clipboards to break down what each team needs to do to be victorious in the weekend. So first up, Trista, what do you think South Carolina needs to do to take down an undefeated UConn?
They just have to score every time down. That's pretty much what they need to do. Like that's really the issue with UConn is that you'll be in a game, you'll be competing with UConn. And then you'll go through a three-minute scoring drought, which almost every team always does. The problem is UConn doesn't do that. And so you're like, oh, this game's super competitive. It feels like Notre Dame is competing. It feels like North Carolina is competing. And you look up the score, and it's a 17-point lead for UConn. And so that's that's really kind of the issue is that UConn defensively is nasty, but offensively, they're very crisp. Sarah Strong doesn't miss a lot. AZ doesn't miss a lot. And they've got a lot of depth.
What do you think?
I think the same. But do you think that like even if they have a scoring drought just in the very, very beginning, you know, they're they're a little slow to get into the start of that game. You think that they can't come back? You think that'll be it?
It depends on how early they have that drought and how much UConn's able to capitalize on it. We saw what happened in the TCU game where South Carolina went down eight points to start the game. They're down two at halftime. But the problem that's different is Olivia Miles went down with a calf cramp. You had Marta Suarez get a knee tweak. Olivia Miles was in foul trouble as well. And those were situations that I just don't see happening for UConn because TCU was not nearly as deep. Right. Right. So who is going to come in and take take over for Olivia Miles when she's and to be able to give you some of that same scoring punch playmaking punch. UConn has Kaylee Heckle. UConn has Ashlyn Shade. UConn has K.K.
Arnold. Blanca Quinones can play a little bit of point guard. Yeah, they're deep. They're very deep.
What are the key strategies for South Carolina to beat UConn?
So you. You can't hope for UConn to stumble and you to dig out of a hole when you're as good as UConn is.
Yeah. So if you're as good as UConn is, though, what is UConn's key to the game to take down these Gamecocks? Sleep. They just need to get sleep.
and be themselves. That's right. Like you saw what happened in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. They did look a little bit lethargic. They still beat the hell out of everybody. But AZ Flood looked tired. She looked like she wasn't really in the game for stretches. Sarah Strong in that Elite Eight game had 20... something points, 21 points, I think she had. And she didn't even look like herself.
How can South Carolina recover from a scoring drought against UConn?
She was missing layups for the first time I've ever really seen in her career. So they just need to get back to business and be the Yukon that went undefeated in the regular season and in the postseason and hasn't lost a game since their Tennessee loss.
