Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 1658469, member: 5798"] Thanks UC, this is an excellent post, one every bone yarder should read. You've captured the 2016-2017 team's posture meticulously. Those tea leaves were not hard to read. Your adroit observations should assist us in adjusting our mindset going into next season. Next year will be totally different than this year was. We have some very knowledgeable and astute fans here, they know that. There's no doubt that UConn will lose some games. Going undefeated is nearly impossible not matter how good a team is. It's not the norm. Just look at how many teams have done so in the history of WCBB. That's what makes what this year's team did so incredible. UConn will be challenged in [I]every game[/I] they play next year. Nothing is guaranteed. Teams are going to see a conquerable UConn team next year, and want to take out years of frustration against them. The BIG 3 are not coming back. UConn will not be nearly as dominant as they were this year. Next year will be a rebuilding one. That is the perception around the country. Some believe that's why Kim Mulkey (Baylor) waited until next season to put UConn on their schedule. She wanted no part of what UConn was handing out this year. A huge percentage of their total game points this year has left the building. As you pointed out, they will be a young team only return 2 starters. Bone yarders will be debating all summer whether senior Saniya Chong will be one of them. Her supporters will be giving chapter and verse why she should. UConn will score, and their defense will be good, but not dominant. Bottom line is UConn will not have the best team in WCBB next year. We will however show up and compete nightly. [/QUOTE]
