Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2104985, member: 1772"] If our favorite team is as good as we think they are, they require no bulletin board material to be properly motivated. I just don't think they fear the prospect of facing any opponent. In fact, I think that just the reverse is true, that they get excited and pumped up for the most challenging opponents. I'm sure that some will come out of the woodwork and claim otherwise, but the fact of the matter is that [U]none of us[/U] on our Board predicted that UConn would enter the tournament undefeated in this of all years. In a way, the team is now playing with "house money." If MD is good enough to beat them, which I doubt, well, more power to them. Slocum is a great little player, and I admire her, but once Brionna Jones graduates, it's gonna be a long time before the Terps can once again contend with the Huskies. They'd damned well better get it done now. Personally, I not only anticipate another NC, but will enjoy it even more if the road to that grail is littered with those opponents the pundits suggest should be most-feared. If it's not meant to be, so be it...but me, I like our chances! [/QUOTE]
