Move Davis out twelve feet where she hits jumpers and force their center to cover her away from the basket. Then, in addition to our usual fast paced offense, run backdoor cuts as often as possible. If we can't outrebound them, maybe we can outrun them.
A plausible strategy?

Lions struggled a bit with BG's post game yesterday until they went to a zone in the second half and forced BG to shoot 3s, which they didn't do very well (20% on 25 attempts). Kansas only took 12 3s yesterday, so maybe a similar scheme will work with them.

I'm beginning to feel a little more optimistic. Kansas averages one ppg less than Bowling Green on defense (62 instead of 63), but 5 pts less on offense (72 instead of 77).
We beat BG there by 7. Kansas' defense will make this a lower scorer game, but their weaker offense may still make them beatable.

Is this really happening? Are we playing the Kansa Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse for the Women's NIT Championship? This is really insane
It’s surreal, for sure.
And we’re all on pins and needles waiting for your prediction!

It probably won't come about, but if I had to make an optimistic prediction, I'd go way out on a limb and say Columbia by 3, 70-67.

I haven’t seen a point spread on this game, but it must be at least double digits. Kansas beat Washington by 25, Arkansas by 14, and Missouri by 28 in this tournament, all at Allen Fieldhouse. Their closest game was Nebraska by 9.

Good luck to the Lions. Beating Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse will be a challenge; the home cooking there is quite spicy.

Doing some Googling, it appears that Allen Fieldhouse is one of the loudest venues in college basketball. Has anyone attended a game there?
I believe this Lions team will be the first Ivy basketball team to play a game in April.

I have been there. A great but intimidating venue.
Basketball in April in a meaningful game against
hoops royalty is a great achievement.
Congratulations to the woman for playing on.
Good luck on closing out a great season in style!

We're getting some respect.
The point spread is only 5.5!
