#1 Stanford falls [merged thread]

[uldn72]

UConn under Geno and Chris never, ever chickened out from playing the best of the best. As a fan of the program for over 30 years...it is my observation that over the last 15 years or so...it is the competition who ran from competng with UConn. I remember Pat cancelling the rivalry over a fake NCAA violation complaint (everyone knew it was Geno getting Maya and other recruits right under her nose). I remember ND ending the rivalry with UConn. The list goes on. How many programs (in the modern era since 1995) have a better win / loss record against UConn? Nobody!!! Two teams are tied:

Baylor vs UConn 4-4 (2010-2020)
Mississippi State vs UConn 1-1 (2016-2017)

Oh, and what is the all time Louisville vs UConn record...oh, I remember...17 - 2 UConn.

Please don't pay too much attention to "beauxregard." Nice enough person but does get obnoxious sometimes in posting. No reason to come here and act like a jerk on someone else's site. For all the arguing about who didn't reschedule the UConn UofL game, I think it's a draw. We all wanted it to happen, including Jeff. But we were getting desperate for games while you all were still shut down -- Jeff literally called every school within a 3-hour drive of us for games. So a couple of KY small schools agreed as they were also having problems getting games. Once they were set there wasn't a time or way to fit UConn back in when you all finally starting playing. We have had 15 games cancelled or postponed this season. There was a worry we wouldn't even have enough games to qualify for the tournament as every week our opponents were cancelling. We were down for 3 weeks ourselves but since we started back up on Jan 1 we have already had 7 games postponed with 2 conference teams literally cancelling their season. One of them was a 2-gamer for us.

As for being good -- I don't know who would win between us. I just know I'm really enjoying watching my team this year and we are pretty good -- even in an off night we find ways to win. Dana has put the team on her back a couple of times and picked them up -- the rest are pretty young or inexperienced.
