UCONN Up 47-21

In the 2nd quarter... girls aren't gonna have to play out of their minds just to stay in it.

UCONN is so daunting

 

[MSUDC11]

Obviously I don't disagree that it will be an extremely tough challenge, but we are a significantly better team than Oregon. We were in the Top 5 for the majority of the season, they are a 10 seed that barely got in.

Will require an even better game than we played last night to beat UConn, but we are as good as anyone they have played this season. They beat Baylor by 11, SC by 11 (both at home), ND by 11, and FSU by 2.

Let's not take any credit away from how good we are. Don't expect a repeat of what happened last year at all. Dallas is a much more level playing field than freaking Bridgeport.

At 35-0 UCONN is screaming NEXT!

Gonna take a monumental effort.

But we are not the same team that played them this time last year.

 

[MSUDC11]

Our offensive improvement the last two weeks gives me some belief that we may have a small chance. Averaging 93 points a game in the NCAA tourney after only scoring 49 in the SEC championship.

We were not a very good offensive team last year. No chance we were going to be able to keep up with them. We still don't have the offensive firepower that they do, but McCowan's progression plus our improved 3-point shooting of late give us a chance to at least give them a scare.

Kara Lawson just said UConn will win 200 games in a row. Both her and Doris Burke said they expect UConn to go undefeated next year because they're just adding more talent to this years team.

 

[Shmuley]

A victory will be staying within 30.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

That's extremely hateable.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Not really

Oregon can not spell full court press,

and we will.

They had a couple of close calls this year away from the state of Connecticut.

Florida State, a 3 seed about to play for a spot in the Final Four, lost by 2.

Tulane, an NIT team that we beat by 20 on a neutral court, lost by 3 and had a shot at the buzzer to tie.

Can't turn the ball over and can't let them go on multiple runs. We will have to be perfect. ESPN is dying for that sister vs. sister national title game.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

They're right. This year was supposed to be a rebuilding year.

 

[patdog]

I agree. It will take us firing on all cylinders, but we've definitely got a chance in this game. We're much better than Oregon.

UCONN is undefeated 3 of the last 4 years with only ONE loss 2 years ago

In the 2nd quarter... girls aren't gonna have to play out of their minds just to stay in it.

UCONN is so daunting

Absurd.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Is that enjoyable for anyone?

I get that dynasties are cool, but one team winning every single game every year is so boring.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

No members of UCONN's team have lost more than 1 game in their entire career.

If UCONN wins it all this year, Next year's Juniors will have no losses, and could very well have none their entire collegiate career. That's not sports.

 

[FlotownDawg]

This is UConn's 10th consecutive Final Four appearance. In those 10 seasons they have lost a TOTAL of 14 games. Nine of those 14 losses came in back to back seasons. So in the eight other seasons, they have lost 5 total games. In eight seasons. That's unbelievable.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I agree with you.

I get that dynasties are cool, but one team winning every single game every year is so boring.

Pretty cool.

 

[RocketDawg]

Maybe they'll get tired of being in the Final Four and slip up a little Friday night.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I'm pretty sure that's the goal of most teams.

 

[MSUDC11]

I do wonder if the fact that they beat us by 60 last year and that they were worried about Baylor and relieved to see us makes them a little vulnerable.
