Could not find a line on this game but suffice it to say it's a losable game especially with Dorka out. NC State got 3 McDonalds All Americans via the transfer portal and have started the season very impressively and are 4-0. While they haven't played anyone real good, they have beaten solid mid majors by an average of around 40 ppg.

My guess is Aubrey takes the starting spot opened by Dorka's injury and Aaliyah will play Center and Aubrey PF with the same starting guards of Muhl, Fudd and Senechal. This will make the team a little smaller and quicker but I would think rebounding shouldn't suffer too much because Aubrey is a terror on the boards so long as she stays inside and doesn't drift out to shoot 3s. Amari and Ayanna are the backups now at the 5 and 4, so if there is any foul trouble UConn would be in trouble. They basically have 4 post players who are healthy.
 
So far the girls look like they are doing what they need to do despite what happened with CD.

Azzi Fudd doesn't seem to have the same issues with the XL Center rims as the UConn men. Do the women play with different rims? If not maybe the men should ask Azzi for some advice in shooting at XL Center. Azzi so far is 7-11 FGs and 3-6 from 3, 19 points and half isn't over.
 
22 for Fudd at half- she is instant offense and NC State hasn't figured out how to deny her good looks. 7 assists for Muhl but she should be able to get looks driving the ball and want to see her attack the rim more.
