That is all.

Why? Not being antagonistic, just curious.I posted a few times last year that I thought MD was the only team that had a chance to beat us this year. They haven't performed as I expected, but now who knows?
A little perspective, please. How much did UConn win by on Louisville's court?Well they had all those injuries last year and still played us as tough as anybody but ND and ND was losing their star. I thought they were developing much more support for AT and maybe they finally have. Pretty good win on Louisville's court.

I too thought at the start of the season that Maryland could be a real contender because they seemed last year to have learned how to play pretty solid team defense and they were getting good players back from injury. then the season started and they had some pretty disappointing results and I started to doubt that they were really very good. But they have played really well in Louisville and I think they should give ND a good game. If ND's heads are straight it will be an interesting battle - if not they could get blown away.Well they had all those injuries last year and still played us as tough as anybody but ND and ND was losing their star.

UC - I think N Dame is now vulnerable in a big way now. MD has some real mojo going- they are big and deep. I think they will take ND down w out Achonwa.I too thought at the start of the season that Maryland could be a real contender because they seemed last year to have learned how to play pretty solid team defense and they were getting good players back from injury. then the season started and they had some pretty disappointing results and I started to doubt that they were really very good.

I think the odds makers will certainly give MD the nod. But I do not think it is a foregone conclusion that they will win. If ND can get their heads straight it should be a hard fought game. If ND is emotionally messed up, then MD will blow them out. Maryland has a lot of height, but most of their talent is wing and guard oriented which is now NDs strength as well.UC - I think N Dame is now vulnerable in a big way now.

True- but I think they will get hammered on the boards- and Md is looking like it's got something going. Those acl's seam to be a thing of the past and their guards seam to be playing at a different level. I can't wait to see that game. I think it will be quite a game also UC!I think the odds makers will certainly give MD the nod. But I do not think it is a foregone conclusion that they will win.

I would give coaching edge to Muffet- no doubt. I think Md will win this game- just my thought. They should totally dominate in the paint. Key word being should. They have a cocky swagger back - MD. Without Natalie, I would be betting them.Muffet will totally out-coach Frese. Edge to the Irish.
Just curious, what do you have against Louisville? Hell UCONN has proven time and again that they are a bad matchup for the Ville averaging close to 20 point margins of victories. Geno and Jeff have great respect for each other as well. You want none of Maryland. They actually can equal UCONN's height and be an opponent that could end UCONN's run.That is all.
Yes, didn't you hear?by the comments here, I guess that Stanford conceded the semi-final to us, giving UConn a pass straight to the final?
