Message: [QUOTE="sharris952, post: 2384019, member: 7956"] This was my sentiments exactly. I never begrudged UConn's win in 2013 because I felt that it was Mulkey's job to get her team with all of that talent ready to beat Louisville and they were not emotionally prepared to play the defensively awkward and fired up schoni schimmel team. Uconn fans may have underestimated the embarasssment that Miss St had after that 60pt loss and sports is still about pride and emotion sometimes. That being said, many SC fans find it degrading that so many UConn fans try to discredit SC championship. They both played the final team that was before them to win. If South Carolina uses it's championship in this way to find half as much success as UConn found after their 2013 championship, I will be happy. This happens many times in Men's basketball because talent is more evenly spread among many elite teams. While UConn still has a great advantage in Coaching (respect given to Geno), the talent is going more places now in wbb, just like the men and there is a lot more elite talent, thus there will be some that take the mantle to challenge UConn. Frankly, you get more respect from having real competition than thinking that everyone wants one team to have all the talent and brag about beating teams that are significantly challenged from a skill perspective.
