I wonder if Tara\'s mentions of Mel might have been because Tara knew that Toni was still not healthy (given\'s Garvin\'s report that Toni was limping and did not work out this morning.)  

I\'m reminded of how little information we had about Jayne\'s foot last year.  Tara may have been unwilling to broadcast the truth about Toni\'s foot for fear it would help A&M\'s gameplan.

So how does this change things?  

1. Keeping Jeanette out of foul trouble is shaping up to be very important, lest we have another Tennessee debacle.  

2. I\'m beginning to think that we might see more zone, just to preserve our guards.

3. Now that A&M knows about Toni, they will no doubt redouble their  efforts to wear down our guards.  If I were them I would do full court press and tight man to man all night, liberally substituting.  Also lots of guards slashing to the basket in the hopes of accumulating fouls--especially if Tara sticks in man.
