Message: [QUOTE="VAUConnFan, post: 4958908, member: 501"] You can rely on a summary from 22 years ago or one can rely on memory from having watched and rewatched that 2002 tournament run dozens of times. UConn, although not playing nearly as well as the semifinal game against Tennessee, totally outplayed and outclassed Oklahoma. The only reason the game was as close as it was at the 1:31 mark was because Dianna and Sue had an off night. I do not agree that poor shooting equates to poor play. Sometimes, the shots just do not fall. It was not as if the guards were taking bad, ill advised shots. Plus, UConn shot 30-57 in that game. I went to public school, but that should work out to a better than respectful shooting percentage. I do not believe the word great was used to describe the UConn players who supported Diana's incredible threepeat. Just pointing out that a number of them were good enough to secure WNBA contracts in numbers higher than one can expect from Iowa. Diana Taurasi is among my all time favorites; a proven winner. And, truth be told, I have seen so little of Caitlin Clark, that I cannot in good conscience debate whether she had a better college career than Diana Taurasi. I can only opine that she played on a less talented team based on the projected success of her teammates. We can revisit this in four years. [/QUOTE]
