Message: [QUOTE="jazz, post: 4174602, member: 10942"] you are on to something there but I don't think you know what it is. Just because somebody is ranked in the top 5, doesnt always make them a top team. There may not even be 5 top teams in one season if you ask me. I think of top teams as ones that can win the championship and I guess at this point, I'm looking at SC, Stanford (although I haven't seen but a couple games) and I like TENN and Baylor as well. I think Baylor gets better and better. so you know there is a way of reading verbatim what someone says and missing the point. Like missing the forest through the trees. The gist of my post was that CD has been very good. She is not perfect however. I even said her outside shooting doesnt concern me and I think she will be a dagger for teams when our better players arrive. I'm not sure I'd put Louisville in the top team category, no matter where they are ranked. That said, CD has done it exactly once against at top 5 team. She has also struggled against teams with good quickness such as UCLA (not ranked) and has had a number of games, even against weaker competition, where she has shot/performed poorly - Xavier and especially SH (both not ranked) come to mind. She only put up 7 pts on SH and that is a really bad team, but...they do have some quickness and size that bothered CD. I remember a freshman from 3 years ago putting 28 on ND but it seems we are waiting for that freshman magic to reappear consistently in big games... Anyway, I don't want to take away from the fantastic year CD has had thus far and that was not my aim and it certainly isn't the spirit of my numerous posts, praising the season she is having. I hope she continues against OTHER top FIVE teams...she has done it exactly once. She has a chance coming soon against TENN and from what I have seen of TENN, they will cause a much bigger problem than Louisville did and especially now that CD isn't sneaking up on anybody either. TENN seems to be a much better defensive team than louisville and many other teams for that matter. CD will also have some additional help against Tenn, we all hope. [/QUOTE]
