This is the game everyone is waiting for, at least until the game at #1 ND on December 7:

I was reading that 7 of the current top 8 teams in the AP poll are on UConn's schedule this year. Obviously because UConn cannot play themselves, they are not 8 for 8.
I think they will beat Baylor and go something like 4-3 or 5-2 in those games. These girls can handle that schedule. They already beat a very good FSU team and at the critical moments of that game there were big plays by Chong and Collier. Nurse and Samuelson both kind of sucked relative to what you would expect from them, although Nurse came up with a scrappy defensive play late that was a big help. And I really think Butler will help. She played great D on that absolute monster girl on FSU. I can see why UConn wanted her- she is big but has really good fundamentals on defensive positioning. She is not as skilled as Steph Dolson, but all that they need from her is boards and a mild inside threat and she is more than capable of both. She actually could be a great rebounder.
