FYI there are probably multiple errors on that page eg, VT game is listed twice on different dates with same score and both games having been played in CT.Huh. I hadn't noticed that feature. Thanks to you both
Got it, so only use the correct information from the UCONN website- glad we had this talk!
Usually when someone makes a mistake, it's best to just take responsibility for it. You know like saying "my bad", "sorry", "well geez, I screwed the pooch on that one", "doh!, I'm an idiot". Something like that. Man up.
I can think of the opposite. If UConn was winning the games in 2001 by 50 in which Sveta and Shea were injured and they didn't need to be the floor, UConn might have won the NC in 2001. Of course, the Abrosimova injury came during a tough UTenn game within the conference season schedule, and Ralph's loss came in the BET final against ND. Injuries can come in any game including a laugher, but the stars spend less time on the courts, and many of the memorable injuries like KML's in the Stanford game last year came in tough games.
Very subjective, I'd have to start with some of the most dominant teams in NCAA history. Hard to prove but I would think the '09-10 UCONN team could have used some kind of adversity before the championship game against Stanford. If not for Maya going into phone booth and putting on her cape in second half we might have had 1 less championship. The final margin +6 for UCONN is not biggest stat I would point to because UCONN was only +12 against Stanford in a game played CT earlier in the year. UCONN only put 53 points on the board that game-the lowest output of the season by far. Outside of UCONN I say the same thing about Baylor in '13. Some type of adversity might have prepared Baylor better for the Louisville mugging in the NCAA Tournament.
Myers,
(And, yes, I realize we're talking conference games.) They also had an 8-point win against OK State in the Big 12 semis.
I would say that in 2010 it would have been good if UConn could have experienced a game earlier on where the balls were just not going down in the first half even if Tina had stood on a small stool and dropped the ball through the rim. The Huskies had plenty of good looks but the shots were just rattling out, and it was not really that Stanford was suddenly the greatest team or playing defense like no one had ever seen. Just like against that 2002 mediocre VTech team, the shots just weren't dropping, really for either team, as the Cards didn't shoot well either. In the second half, UConn returned to normal self and outscored Stanford 32-9 before the score narrowed at the end. Would the Huskies have done better if any team except Stanford in the regular season had given them a better game? Doubt it. Two pretty well matched teams in the NC game, both shooting coldly on tight rims, and UConn just finds its game later.
Oh c'mon you're just getting too caught up in that gentlemanly sensitive stuff, and you should woman it up about it.
Hello, McFly.
And therein lies your problem. Just man up, and admit you screwed up. Why you gotta keep trying to shift the blame? Is it really that hard?
Telling Koko B Ware (a male) to woman up wouldn't be weirder?? If Geno can call his guys, guys, then we can man up.
