Even with the "slump" Azzi is having a spectacular season.

I don't agree in the context you speak. Yes this year is different but the main concern is that we have little-to-no-competion so we have been forced to play our bench too much. As we saw last year vs Tenn, the chemistry of the team was lacking. That should be our worst fear. And what we saw...

Don’t want to make a big deal out of this. I’m so psyched about this team this year and the win in this game is much more fun to think about. But you’re bringing up a negative in which I feel there was none for this game. I hold a completely opposite POV than what you hold. While you go back to...

IMO you're rembering way wrong. Allie only played 3 minutes in 1st half. In that time Barker jacked up two 3's that had nothing to do with Allie, same thing with another guard that took a bombs away 3 and hit it over Shade or K9 that again had nothing to do with Allie. The 2 penetrations Tenn...

Ofc he's a great coach and he has charisma. His track record over time establishes personal growth and winning. He is "grandfathered" into these categories as being reliable. And imo the number 1 factor that leads to both these things is his Offense. Which is why he lands the number 1 USA...

What can you say about this team? They continue to amaze. Jut tan utter juggernaut and with an elite bench. And the team is just showing amazing hustle.

Last year's team lost to Tennessee in February. The 01-02 team wasn't that way. As Renee Monty said there was a lot of added pressure going undefeated. And it shouldn't be 01-02' team's fault for being so dominant that they had what was it 1, 2-4 and 6 in the draft that other teams weren't as...

The injury to Serah affected things I'm sure.

I don't agree with the bold. The right way is to play for championships. Its not a failure if you don't win every year but the 1st obligation to every player on teh teaam is for the coach to try to coach to win a championship. Other teams that's not their obligation. But for UCONN, if you aren't...

I know. Our team this year so far amazing.

great job Op!!! For me, a team that loses showed they had a flaw they couldn't overcome. i'd go #1 --- 15-16. Too much firepower. #2--- 01-02 Just a little too small and not enough bench to take the crown. Vs Okalahoma in finala game DT and Bird missed all their 3'sa. Also of note I'm...

St Johns isn't in UCONN league.

I agree with you. I just didn't think that was what skeets was saying. But yes ofc Paige would be an amazing safety net. It's just that during this reg season this team is better. The last 3 games from E8 to fianls if they get there? I doubt this team will be better dtstidtically. But whether we...

Its pushing pace of play. Sure they can play better. But when you press and play at such a fast pace in which a lot of your offense is 3pt shooting, they will struggle at times with this pace. They aren't pros. Think of what Geno said about Blanca and expanding it; he said I'll accept the bad...

I don't believe skeets meant NCAA Tourney. IMO there were some fans that didn't think the reg season would be as good too. If we are to look at only those 3 games, then arguably there never was a team greater than last year. But I don't think that was his point.
