Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4152419, member: 5798"] Brian, I applaud your optimism. IF they make it that far, maybe they do have a puncher's chance of beating SC. The problem there is that there are other top ranked (top 10) teams UConn has to get by BEFORE they play SC. On their current pace, UConn can very like be a 3 seed in the tournament. Especially if they lose a conference game or two. UConn will have to play and defeat a top 5 team to get to the final four. There's no getting around that. In the past, UConn has breezed through the first 3 games. Based on their play this season, I can't take anything for granted. Remember, UConn scored just 3 points in the 4th quarter versus SC, and only 5 fourth quarter points against unranked Georgia Tech. They've shown the willingness and ability to fade late in BIG games. I could suggest that the best indication of future behavior is past behavior, but I won't. UConn had key players out during those games. All of those players should be back, healthy and ready to play come tournament time. The tournament is ten weeks from now.* A lot can and will happen between then. We'll see how things play out. We know what UConn must do to reach the final four. Other posters here have (I think) accurately stated in graphic detail what those things are. Time will tell. For the record, I hope you're right.
