The disagreement: based on what I saw vs. Minnesota, Sienna is now where close to helping on Strong. Sienna got posted up at least 3 times in her 7 minutes vs. Minni. She'll improve, but for now ...
There's a chance Dugalic is a good matchup for Strong. Angela is 6'4", athletic, and mobile. I assume, we'll play man and switch. Dugs could maybe give Strong trouble on the perimeter. Maybe trouble her enough when she drives, so that help can come early, and defend her in the post. Maybe.
We switch a lot, so there's that. But, I almost wonder if defensively, we'd not be better off when Strong is on the block, to have Lauren on Strong and someone Dugalic on Williams?
Everything else, I agree with. And, the simple fact is that UConn is basically statistically better at everything. Part of that is their super soft schedule. But, they just completely dismantled ND, and made Hidalgo look like a JAG.
