Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4798100, member: 12088"] I don’t care for this comparison to Iowa unless the point is to show that we have a much better team. Why? because we beat them soundly last season without Paige and Dorka. It was only close at the end because Kate Martin had the shooting game of her life that day. Czinano was no match for Aaliyah, and Azzi outplayed Caitlin by a wide margin, thanks to Nika’s stellar defense. We lost Azzi for the season but got back Paige, who has always been a better player than Caitlin. The Huskies that beat Iowa last season is clearly better than they were then, and Iowa is not. The one thing that really rings true to me is how an NC depends on a bit of luck these days, something in short supply in Storrs. LSU and Iowa coasted a ride of luck last season and we didn’t. I have a feeling Paige and Aaliyah may manufacture their own luck this season with the help of their friends. [/QUOTE]
