Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4360789, member: 3535"] With all due respect, UCONN has won 10 of 11 of their titles when they had a 1st team all-American become Most Outstanding Player in Final Four. The only year they won and that didn't happen was in 12-13 when arguably the greatest wcbb of all-time, Stewie, won it as a frosh. However, there were two other All-Americans on that team that helped Stewie that year. So, as the poster oldhuskie has said, there were no A/A's on this team. He’s right. And that we know that All-Americans are essential looking back at the past UCONN Championship teams. In addition oldhuskie was correct when he mentioned 1st round draft picks. I think you may have missed that because the two players you cited were 1st round draft picks. This year there were none which I'm sure you know. But again I'm not sure why you are pressing so hard on all of this when in fact this past year’s team didn’t win a championship nor did Stevens. Yet you hold Paige’s comment of title or bust as The Bible. [I]Now, you have also indicated and we agree, that UCONN is going to be a terrific team this year as we believe UCONN is going back to the Final Four if they remain healthy. But the most important key is their health. [B]And that means Azzi too. [/B][/I] [B]A question for this thread though-- is will Azzi Fudd become an All-American this upcoming year? Because we know, based on what I've just mentioned to you, that an All-American is essential for UCONN winning it all. Of course we expect Paige to be, but the better Azzi can perform obviously makes the team better too. I can't wait to see Azzi this year. I'd love to see if she can get off her shot easier, and also nail mid-range jump shots. – Her shot is just so smooth. And also important for Azzi; not got sick before any game vs a top opponent, especially South Carolina. [/B] [/QUOTE]
