Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 4152369, member: 11599"] On paper, UConn has as much talent as anyone in the country. However, UConn is dealing with a pandemic within a pandemic. With so many players missing quality time, game time and even practice time, it‘s impossible to get an accurate gauge on this team. What is apparent though is the current mix who have played the last 3 games is not good enough to contend for a title. That should be clear by now. SC has their core group relatively healthy and intact. Essentially, UConn will be starting over at some point, trying to find the right mix, blend of players. It seems to me that too many posters are overly optimistic and players can be put back in and everything coalesces. UConn‘s expected team chemistry has taken a severe hit this season and are lagging far behind a lot of teams. Can it all come together? Yes, because they have the pieces. However, almost everything has to occur positively - which is not a given in this season of turmoil. [/QUOTE]
