Keys to victory for the Crimson surround scoring early and coming out of the gate strong.
"We need to take it to them right from the start," Badawy said. "Against UConn, our problem was that we didn't believe that we could hang with them in the early part of the game. As long as we come out strong we are sure we can win."
