Courtney Williams says that UConn is beatable.

Did anyone catch the broadcast commentary during the game last night? The announcers referred to an interview with Geno. He apparently follows the NBA a lot more closely than most of us (definitely including me), and he noted that the Golden State Warriors (with a historic win percentage this year) had recently lost a game in which they went 4-30 from the 3-point line. Obviously his point was that such a thing could happen to UConn, and with "win or go home" being the rule in the remainder of this season, it could be fatal if it happens.

No one is unbeatable (particularly in a one-game series). Remember Louisville vs. Baylor a few years ago, or the Miracle On Ice in 1981. (Or the Pirates in 1960, I might add. Or the Immaculate Reception in 1971.)

And no respectable player or team should view their opponent as unbeatable.

I agree about win or go home. But there are only so many teams that have a shot to beat them. Unless injuries - nobody is going to beat them until the E8. And I can't believe on this thread some are still scared of USF. Across their frontline they pose no defensive problems. Unlike Baylor who only had two offensive players and every second you knew where Griner would be, this UCONN team will always have runs vs a team like USF. USF continually has to hit very tough shots. Anyhow, on a national level - UCONN has way too much versatility to go down before the E8. Hope USF is out of the UCONN region and makes some big noise.

JoePgh, the thing about that game was that Kim Mulkey, totally over-looked L'ville, she had already prepared her team for the FF and Walz's players went nuts and hit something like 15 3's in the first 1/2 and several more in the 2nd 1/2 & smothered Griner with at least 3 girls and played a very physical game especially on Sims & held on to win by 3-5 points, I think. Kim was out-coached big-time!
Not saying it couldn't happen, but the difference with UCONN is Geno and his staff doesn't OVER-LOOK anyone! The present game is all that matters!

Morgan Tuck: "We know we're not unbeatable, but what we all know is that we are pretty hard to beat. So, we just used her words for a little more motivation and show that, yes, anyone might be able to beat us, but if it's going to happen you are going to need to play pretty much a perfect game to do it."

Yes. The entire UCONN team could catch pneumonia and wind up in the hospital in round 1.
