Message: [QUOTE="Inthepaint, post: 4569268, member: 11386"] Funny how we look at seeding & brackets from an”elite” perspective. There are so many teams who are first timers or otherwise not considered to have a legitimate chance of advancing too far. But they jump at the chance to maybe fly across country to play a first round game against a heavily favored team on their home court. Perhaps fly in and home the same day. Whatever the ACTUAL brackets and pairing turn out to be, let’s have a little respect for whatever “cupcake” we draw first. Chances are they will come to Storrs knowing they will be heavily outgunned in front of a hostile crowd. But they will probably give it all they have even if it’s not enough at the final buzzer. Whether the brackets are sensible or absurd, we have the talent & heart to be the last women standing. If we can get & stay healthy, we can score & defend with anyone as long as we don’t succumb to the irrelevant noise & beat ourselves. Geno has it exactly right. Whoever UCONN draws and in whatever round, they have to win 6 games. And they can’t win all 6 at one time. Take care of business in game 1. Then we can talk again. Somebody, somewhere is going to be looking ahead or taking something for granted. Then we’ll all be saying “WOW, can believe (Fill in the blank) beat (fill in the blank)!?” Best way to avoid that happening to the Huskies is to play EVERYONE like they are South Carolina.
