With all due respect to Holy Cross, I didn't find myself captivated but who was guarding who during Sunday's season opener. Actually, there were times when it appeared absolutely nobody was guarding UConn junior Tiffany Hayes.

But when the ball gets thrown up for tomorrow night's UConn/Baylor game, it will be an entirely different story.

More than a few inquiries have been made about which UConn player will be guarding Baylor's 6-foot-8 Brittney Griner since Tina Charles is now playing professionally but it will be equally noteworthy to see who Baylor puts on Maya Moore and Tiffany Hayes.

My guess is that Stefanie Dolson gets the first shot at Griner even though Dolson did not start against Holy Cross.

UConn coach Geno Auriemma made it clear that he is not about to risk putting Moore on Griner and run the chance of having to sit Moore because of foul issues.

"You are kind of in a tough situation because she has the ability of whoever guarding her in foul trouble," Auriemma said. "What does that do to our chances to score if somebody's got two quick fouls early on? We've got to be careful we don't make this 'we are going to take four or five guys, guard Brittney Griner and let everybody else take whatever shot they want whenever they want.' We did that in the LSU game in Fresno and it backfired on us (when LSU dominated UConn in an Elite Eight game in the 2007 NCAA tournament). I am going to watch the game, scout games out, try to have plans A, B and C and hope that we don't have to use plans B and C. I have a feeling that might not be enough. Usually in games like that, there is just no easy answer to question that she poses."

Scouting Baylor is the responsibility of associate head coach Chris Dailey and it will be interesting to see what Dailey comes up with.

Baylor coach Kim Mulkey isn't expecting just one player to check Griner.

"I can tell you this, whatever their focus is, it's always (putting) two players on her," Mulkey said. "Now is it two players on her to stop her? Is it two players to allow somebody else to get more shots than you would prefer taking shots? I can't answer that, those coaches and those staffs would have to answer that. I just know that as I watch Brittney Griner play, whether it is a zone we are playing against or a man (to man defense), she is never going to be in a situation by herself one on one with anybody."

As for dealing with Moore as well as Hayes, who had 32 points against Holy Cross, the other four probable Baylor starters all are in the 6-foot range but whether a Shanay Washington, Brooklyn Pope, Kimetria Hayden or Melissa Jones can keep Moore from getting her shots remains to be seen.

"It starts with Maya Moore," Mulkey said. "It starts with the best player in the country in Maya. It starts with a program that, they are good, they are great, they are what everybody wants to be. They are undefeated, they are national champions, their winning streak, the list is endless of the things that Connecticut brings to the floor. I said it last year and I said it as a player, the streak is not going to last forever. Geno would agree with that and I agreed with it as a player but it sure is fun being a part of it. They have beaten everybody, they have taken everybody's best shot and I can't think of anything but positive praise for what that program has done."
