Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4207583, member: 6927"] The latest installment of Boneyard over-the-topism. I'm sorry, but our bench has not "made us the #10 ranked team". We were ranked #2 when we beat Notre Dame and lost Paige to injury. The only top 25 win since then has been over Tennessee, but then again, Auburn and Alabama are not and will not be top 25 teams as a result of beating the Vols. If we had been unranked at the time of Paige's injury, we would be nowhere close to #10 in the polls based on who we've beaten and lost to since then. And I'm also sorry, but our measuring stick should not be "90% of the teams that are out there". There are about 350 Division I teams. Does it really matter if players #6 and below would start for teams outside the top 35? Mir is not only a starter for Virginia, but probably their best player, and yet she was unable to find a way to contribute significantly on the court for UConn. [/QUOTE]
