2004… 2014… 2024? (Merged)

Dual championships again???

 

[JellyBean]

I like your thinking!

 

[Bald Husky]

Being realistic, I would hope that it was possible, but I think that ship has sailed when we lost half our team to injury. But, there is always hope. I won't give up until the final buzzer has us on the short end of the score.

Things have been breaking our way since the regular season. Brady got some great experience while Edwards was out. We are better off now for that. The women also got a decent bracket to navigate towards the FF.

The men were given a head-scratchingly tough bracket for the overall top seed. Recalls images of Emmert at the helm. However, the men are the top seed for a reason. They are not likely to be beat before the FF.

Once teams are in the FF anything can happen.

Duel champs 2024!!!

Duel champs 2024!!!

Hamilton v. Burr

 

[Urshurak]

As I fan I hope for dual Championship again.

With my wallet.....neither.

 

[Ozimoto]

We can hope.

Hamilton v. Burr

Eugene Martone vs Jack Butler

 

[Skeets]

I will believe we have a lock on dual NCs util proven otherwise. How's that for some Tonyc optimism?

 

[Blueconn]

Hamilton v. Burr

But really…which of these idiots would we want in our team ?

 

[Blueconn]

Dual championships again???

Ya just never know and why not ? But remember that ‘04 and ‘14 were healthy and intact. ‘24 is barely healthy and barely intact. Diana was truly singular. Paige wants it. 2014 was one of Geno’s complete editions…38-0. If a miracle is deserved, and 2024 is 12, it would be so terrific that this old Bialosuknia guy would write again after quarter century. Yes UConn.

One weekend into the tournament… The dream is still alive!

Doomed

For any realistic chance to happen, Aaliyah, Ice and Nika can't have a repeat performance of the Syracuse game. As Geno said in his post game comments, he has to find a way to make Ice effective as when she played 40 minutes in 2 of the Big East Tournament games she was great. He also has to get Qadance involved at least a bit. She's long, athletic and has a nice shot so find some avenue to use her. A rotation of 6 player is not going to cut it.

Dual championships again???

If we had , AG, AP, JEA and CD I would say yes. Without them, it will be extremely difficult (even with PB’s heroics). But never say never.

If Paige carries this team to the NC, she’ll replace DT as the GOAT.

 

[Skeets]

If Paige carries this team to the NC, she’ll replace DT as the GOAT.

I don't know about that, but she just might find the elusive 4th spot on the mountain.

Hamilton v. Burr

You cannot, I repeat cannot, even make a typographical error on this site without some clever, and in this case, very clever reply.

 

[UC15]

If Paige carries this team to the NC, she’ll replace DT as the GOAT.

No

 

[BBallF]

I don't know about that, but she just might find the elusive 4th spot on the mountain.

I thought there were 4 already. Bird, DT, Stevie and Maya?

 

[BBallF]

Oops. Auto correct. Stewie!

 

[meyers7]

I thought there were 4 already. Bird, DT, Stevie and Maya?

Nope, DT, Stewie and Moore. Still waiting on the 4th. Buecker's injuries will probably keep her just a little short.

Bird did great in college, but she really made her mark after college. Injuries derailed her also in college.

To get on the Mount you gotta have, minimum, 3 AAs, 2NPOY and 2 NCs.

One weekend left in the tournament… The dream is still alive!

In 2004 both UConn teams won NCAA championships. That amazing achievement was repeated in 2014. Incredibly in 2024, once again both UConn teams are in position to reach the Mt. Rushmore of college basketball. No other university has ever achieved this milestone. Go Huskies!
