Bueckers (going pro after this tournament) scored 40, She was 16-27 (6-8 from 3).

Fudd was 4-13 (1-5) for 10 points. Strong was 4-13 (1-7). for 11.

Shade, off the bench, went 5-8 (2-5) for 12.

That's it.

UConn is indeed playing great. (So is South Carolina.) But with UConn, we have to scheme to deal with Bueckers. There is no one Bruin who can stop her one-on-one when she's on her game. We cannot afford to trust our players and try that and wait until halftime to make the change. Oklahoma allowed her to get nine open looks from outside and she killed them. Without all that much help from her teammates. You have to control her and force them to try to beat you riding those other players. And see if they can really stop Betts and hopefully an aggressive Rice and company.
