Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 5156289, member: 4"] People want the return of the beautiful, flowing offense from 10-20 years ago but I don't think we'll ever see a full game of that again, from anyone. Opponents were simply dreadful back then, incapable of slowing the Huskies down much less stop them. Do folks remember the good teams in the Old Big East? Rutgers, Louisville, Boston College, Notre Dame - games were often rock fights, ugly, low scoring affairs because the teams had the skill, talent, and good coaching needed to fight back. The ND games looked better because their offense was prettier but were still not the pieces of art that the old bottom of the Big East games were. This parity is what we're seeing throughout the NCAA now. Former doormats are getting better - even Providence showed a semblance of a pretty good defense at times yesterday. (Erin Batth seems like a good hire. Good for Providence caring about its wbb team - it's about time) Husky fans need to get used to the idea that UConn will have to work harder to win and games may have to be scrappy and ugly, rather than pine for the old days.
