Gotta give you credit, Cardfan. A 26 point loss and scoring only 35 points against Uconn and you can't wait to play them again. Quite the glutton for punishment, aren't we?

Sad to say Uconn knows very well the impact of multiple ACL Injuries to a player. I hope that Beebe staysa healthy, but to believe that she can have a big impact for Stanford this year seems to be wishful thinking to me.

You can have all the front line help you want but you need a good backcourt to beat Uconn. What you have are good but not great players.

It won't be pretty in Connecticut for Stanford.

Gee Daddy, we'll just stay in Palo Alto and save the air fare. I think the game at Maples was anomaly, even for you guys who didn't shoot the ball that well (61 pts at 37%). KML was the only one who had more than 10pts with 19. I was just above courtside and remember it well. It was still early in the season and we were figuring out how to play without Nneka (and Beebe). It was Chiney and a bunch or role players - and Toni was sick.

I know who you lost to ACLs. We've been hit hard over the years as well, especially in backcourt. Beebe will have 1.5 yr recovery, so plenty of time to be ready. Remember what Jasime Camp did her frosh yr at UConn? She will be back stronger, as well as Greene. I will be you bet you the game will be pretty and close (less than 10 pts). I also bet you more than Chiney will outplay any of your post players since she will have help.
 
Hey Cardfan. Just curious. Are you the "C" of C and R?

You're coming to the game? We all meet outside section 118. Stop by and say hello. Oh...you meant the team...lol.

I don't expect a 26 point blowout. But under 10 points? What would you like to bet? I'm game.

It was early in the season for Uconn also trying to adjust to a big missing piece in Hayes. And how can you say you had to figure out how to play without Bebee when she never played for the team.

How long are you going to live off of Camp's one good game? Talk about an anomaly.

Let's make two bets. I say Uconn will win by more than 9 points and Camp will score less than 10 points.

How much?

I will try to go the game. I will bet you that UConn won't by more than 9pts, but I can't bet about Camp since it's unknown how many minutes she will play (if Toni is in or out).

We had no posts to help Chiney, so even if Beebe would have been healthy, it would be something - and much harder for Dolson and others to focus solely on Chiney.

$100 - but the winner to donate it to Sandy Hook Foundation

Deal. But how can you use Camp as a reason for Stanford dong enter if you don't know how many minutes she will play?

She's added bonus if Toni cannot play, which we didn't have this year. I'm just covering my bases, we'll have more depth, at the guard and forward positions.
 
I think opposing fans should understand something. Breanna Stewart will be the POY for the next 3 seasons and it wont be close. Shes a phenon and will get better. Put KML along side her and Stef in the middle who will be the best post play in America and UConn will embarrass opponets next season. Most games wont be close. UConn will have a 20+ point advantage before the tip it off. UConn is the best defensive team, best passing team and tack on their athletic height, great outside shooters making defenses come out to guard them and their depth. Hey not bragging just stating the facts. This is one of the greatest teams ever in WCBB and Breanna will be one of the greatest players ever in WCBB. Some said gee if only EDD had stayed at UConn. Well UConn has Breanna and WCBB has never seen anything like her.

That's crazy. Stanford will be improved with a very good incoming class and getting many injured players back (Beebe, Camp, Greene, and still hope for Toni). Stanford will be better than many in top 10- 12. Can't wait to play TN and UConn to show ya. :)

If Chiney is not national POY next year, I will quit watching bball.

Well, cf, since Stewie and Stef and Bria and KML will prolly split the UConn vote, you may be right.

UCONN not playing very well is supposed to help your cause? :rolleyes:

You'll have more depth at every position. You'll have depth in the non-scholarship players position. You'll have depth in the watergirl position. You got freaking 19 players next year. :eek:

Ooh. I think she's the leader, but she'll have competition. I could see different organizations picking different players.
 
Well let's not forget to give a shout out to Marist. They lose their best player and some height to graduation, but I'm sure they'll have some 5-9 forward/guards who can shoot the lights out. Only question will be whether they can win a first round tournament game against a major conference foe. If so, they may reach the S16 and get lots of glory.

I hope so.

You don't think Stanford's D had anything to do it?

Well you were kinda making the point that Stanford had an off day and wouldn't next time. Then went on to say UCONN had an off day too, but don't think they'll be better next time too??

yes, both teams will play better.

More room for improvement for Stanford. More firepower being added. Count me among those who think UConn will win, but not by 20. It is the game I'm most worried about. Duke might be stronger on paper, but we seem to have their number. Not so much with the Cardinal.

I think the fact this game will likely be early in the season is going to be problematic for Stanford. UConn will likely have more cohesion and chemistry early coming into the season than Stanford will. Later in the season may be a different story.

I knew that SOMEONE would go and drag watergirl into this contretemps!

Is Kokenis back? Don't recall if her health spelled the end of her career. Stanford is solid and brings in a better class than UCONN. But Stewie showed in the NCAA's that she's practically from another planet when it comes to hoops. I'd seriously not be surprised to see her average 22+ PPG and win NPOY over Sims, Ogwumike, and Thomas. But UCONN effectively adds Chong and Banks coming back from an injury. I think this Stanford team is just a bad matchup vs. UCONN. If Stef can limit Chiney in the game, I'm betting UCONN pretty much shuts everyone else down and wins something like 74-48. Obviously way early to make predictions, but I think next year's Duke team gives UCONN a much closer game...

We might not have dominated Stanford like we have Duke but I'd say beating beating them by 30+ on their home court would indicate having their number considering the current personnel on both teams.
