Message: [QUOTE="HopJim, post: 3393842, member: 6986"] While I have taken grief for past posts that indicated UConn was not worthy of #1 ranking, I have less negative thoughts than many about this game. With the great teams that will make playoffs, would welcome another shot at Baylor. A few thoughts why: -Don't see ONO ever having a game like this again. Predict that if the two teams play again, ONO will have at least 12-15 points and reduce Cox's 3's. UConn had advantage early in game until Geno took ONO out. -Have watched several Baylor games this year and would be surprised to see them shoot this well again on 3's. Partly on Geno since he appeared to coach players to play off the ball. -Doubt we will see Kyla in a position to get so abused by taller players shooting short turn arounds. Again, not totally Kyla's fault with the shot blocker, ONO, on bench. -Layups, layups, layups - 3-5 wide open layups would have changed tone of game. -Geno made several unusual substitutions at key moments I doubt he would make in playoffs. Other than the last 5 minutes, this was an even game. A few more layups, ONO points, and fewer Cox 3 pointers and we would be celebrating a victory. Saying these teams are far apart is an overreaction. [/QUOTE]
