Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 3964398, member: 3834"] I am woefully ignorant about computers and don’t really know how to go about it, but I’d be interested to know the percentage of OOC games that have been “fairly close). My guess is, that those numbers have changed considerably over the last five years. I would guess the games have (on average) become closer, but I’m not convinced one would find too many “close” games against anyone outside of the top 5-8. Sure, there will be a few but I still believe the single most dominant factor is that we have been without a true Alpha since Breanna left. Clearly there is way more talent out there now and some teams/coaches have stepped up their recruiting abilities/success. However, there are very few real alphas out there, often none. (In a given year) Personally, I believe Paige addresses that hole and (though I’m “from Missouri”) it is very possible that Azzi is one as well. With the other talent Geno has put around them, I believe we will see a huge difference over the next few years and are likely to see a return to “form”. I don’t think we will see any more Ark/Tenn/AZ games for the foreseeable future. Sure, SC, Stanford will still be question marks but I truly believe UConn is about to go on another dominant run.
