Just doing a little deeper examination of the respective "Big Three's" for UConn and Cal.

Renee Montgomery, Tina Charles and Maya Moore have 4836 points, 1808 rebounds, 962 assists, 465 steals and 342 blocks in 328 career games. Ashley Walker, Devanei Hampton and Alexis Gray-Lawson have 5,032 points, 2,377 rebounds, 715 assists, 426 steals and 259 blocks in 350 career games.

The officials will be Scott Yarbrough, who has a past history with UConn coach Geno Auriemma, Susan Blauch and Karen Pence with Norma Jones the standby official.

UConn keeps its normal starting five of Maya Moore, Tina Charles, Tiffany Hayes, Renee Montgomery and Kalana Greene while Cal counters with Ashley Walker, Devanei Hampton, Natasha Vital, Lauren Greif and Alexis Gray-Lawson.

I was out on court when the Huskies first came out and they were as relaxed as could be. Montgomery saw Gray-Lawson, who she played against during their AAU careers, and they exchanged a hug and spoke for a few minutes. Lorin Dixon then came over so she and Gray-Lawson could bit back to back and they did some sort of ritual extending their arms. Other than proving that Gray-Lawson has longer arms, not sure what the meaning of all that was but it certainly was entertaining.

The most compelling image from UConn's open practice on Saturday was Kalana Greene hit baseline jumpers from a foot or two inside the 3-point line with alarming regularity. If she does the same thing today, that does not bode well for Cal's hopes for an upset.
