Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 3800146, member: 7171"] Geno`s quote at the end of the article surprised me a bit. Not sure I agree. "But if we don`t go as far as we could, I don`t think it is going to be because we didn`t get to play some of these games." This is a young team. Many haven`t gone up against the top teams like Baylor, Louisville, etc. Games like that would teach them a lot about themselves. Equally or perhaps more importantly, it would show the coaches what needs to be worked on, which our coaches can do as well or better than any others. How will Paige handle pressure from the DPOY? Can Edwards hold her own inside? Can we shoot well enough to win against a top 7 team? Can we go 8 or 9 deep in a big game? Etc. Maybe Tennessee on the road will provide some clues, but they are barely top 25, if that. So we are left with South Carolina a month from now. Most seasons, we will have played 4 or 5 top ten teams and will have had an opportunity to correct things and learn about exactly who we are. [/QUOTE]
