Message: [QUOTE="donalddoowop, post: 3324053, member: 6552"] What I am talking about is execution. Neither Maryland or S. Carolina shot well or played well in other aspects of their game and it had nothing to do with the competition. There was poor ball handling, poor shot selection, missed open shots and just overall poor play. I'm disappointed at the attitude of so many Boneyarders. Some seem to have expected this team to be in mid-season form in their first game after playing only two DII teams. Just recently I read on this board that this team is going to be very good and will go the final four again. Now, all of a sudden, they don't have enough good players. Less than two weeks ago some said UConn will have a good bench. Now the bench is no better than it has been the past few years. people complained that UConn did not have players who can create their own shots. Today they had three players who created their own shots and people complained about that because other players stood around watching. Makurat is too slow, Griffin passed up an open shot. I feel for Muhl because if she does not develop an accurate shot she will be blasted. Expectations are too high too early. A poster predicted that next year's team will go undefeated, not stopping to think that the Stewart, Tuck, Jefferson team did not face, imo, the kind of competition that next year's team will be facing in the coming years. Baylor, South Carolina, Oregon State, Maryland and Stanford have more talent than the better teams Tuck's team faced. If they don't go undefeated, then every reason they lost will be pointed out. I believe UConn will have the talent to win another NC, but to go undefeated, that may be too much to expect. [/QUOTE]
