We are on a crash course to play Baylor in the Elite Eight, as long as we can get by Kansas. If we beat Kansas and get Baylor, then I hope Pat has something up her sleeve defensively to stop Griner. I would run a box and one...man defense on Griner and zone with other 4 players. When ball goes to Griner, then she automatically gets double-teamed. I think that we will have to find a way to take her out of the game and make the other 4 players on Baylor beat us. Let's get past Kansas first and then worry about it, as they are obviously a hot team right now.
Get her up in the air and jump into her to draw fouls. I think that would be our only hope, IMO. I just hope we don't lose to KU before we get Baylor.
#1...I hope that we don't lose to Kansas before we get to Baylor either. #2...your concept sounds great in theory but it seems that Griner doesn't have to jump much to block shots. Glory and Vicki will have their work cut out for them. I definitely agree that it would be nice to get her in foul trouble, but it seems that the refs don't call much against her. She knocked a Florida girl almost into the row of media members and didn't get a foul called. She goes over the back A LOT and doesn't get called.
