Message: [QUOTE="PhillyCoach, post: 1660367, member: 6136"] Hey Milford - I heard what you just said and I get where you are coming from. Geno would absolutely scoff at the notion that the team was a NC caliber in October. He would never, ever say it because the team would not be where Geno knows they have to be--It's only October-- Remember! Most reasonable people recognize that the OOC is loaded! Geno did not have those 5 cell phones for nothing. The first call was from Baylor and then the other top 15 schools in the nation, (who just recruited 97 of the top 100 players), starting calling to schedule or to remind Geno that they were looking forward to UConn's game. They all had a sheet eating grin! Anyway, I see 3 to 4 close losses. I see top 8-10 in the polls. I see an elite 8 in the NCAA. However, as you say, "suppose for a minute that UConn keeps winning early. That would be downright cruel and very discouraging if UConn actually did that. Miracles do happen. When UConn is in the elite 8 then the gloves come off. As all the nervous nellies before the final 4 games said repeatedly---- Anything can happen! I agree. This year 3 new teams broke through in their own unique way. AT a minimum, I see UConn just like those 3 other final 4 teams. There is a chance and anything can happen. House money at that point. Sounds reasonable to me, but what do I know! [/QUOTE]
