Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4284748, member: 5823"] With these if, if and ifs statements ..... you are not keeping it real. The two teams played twice this season and SC was dominant both times. The UCONN game plan was created by a HoF coach so I'm not sure what would have made the game plan "improper" despite the BY musings and Monday morning second guessing. By keeping it real one has to acknowledge that there is a talent gap between the team with UCONN operating at a deficit. The acquisition of more talent will not only close the gap but it will provide that HoF coach with additional tools to deploy = AKA better game plans. Healthier players certainly equals more talent and will partially close the gap. Brace yourself for a sobering thought : [B] As things stand right now [/B]the Talent Gap between UCONN and South Carolina has increased in SC's favor since the championship game ended simply because UCONN lost two starters and it 6th man vs 1 starter for SC. In a rematch SC would have to play poorly in some aspect of the game for UCONN to win. While this is entirely possible it is based on hope-which is never a good plan. One other item regarding the talent gap that many UCONN fans continue to overlook is the improvement of Boston. I was "hoping" this did not happen but I got tired of my eyes lying to me because it has happen. While UCONN fans have spent the last three seasons "hoping" the post players actually improved, Boston has actually done it. An improved also allowed SC to defeat Stanford and NCst this season. She is going into her senior season and defending a championship. Boston is going to be a problem and could get better. A solid plan would be to hit the portal and acquire some more talent. I'm positive this is UCONN's plan. [/QUOTE]
