Dawn Staley "It felt great beating UConn"

I love games at MSG and Barclays. When our MBB team played in the regional finals at MSG in 2017 we had over 10,000 fans there, so I think it could work. USC has a large alumni base in the tri-state area. I'll be added to those numbers when I retire.

Set up the meeting with Dawn. If she’s in we can set one up with Geno and then swing by Bristol to see the ESPN overlords are interested.

I bet Dawn would love it, at least for next year :). It would be a great way to kick off the basketball season, although I think both coaches like it better toward the end of the year. I think in terms of WBB though for right now there isn’t a bigger game and there aren’t two more colorful coaches in our sport than Dawn and Geno.

Yes as I say we will see….I never bet against UCONN and Geno….considering all that happened this season getting to the Championship alone was of the best performances….and you sound like a disciple of Dawn and SC….

Yes and Staley 2 and UCONN and Geno 11

It's almost as if some ppl forget that along the way to 11, was 1 then 2 then 3 and so on.

We will continue to add to 2 but we won't forget that along the way to however many Dawn finishes with, was once 2.

I don’t think two teams in different conferences can schedule to play twice in one year unless one of those games is in a tournament where they aren’t guaranteed to meet. Like last year.

We are South Carolina and UCONN. Surely they'll make an exception for the two of us.

(A measured amt of sarcasm implied.. Tho the two of us, according to the rest of the WBB world, are the darlings of the sport and given special treatment...so why not make it true? ;) )

I would not agree to that. I think had they had the tournament that Oregon with Sabrina would have come out on top. Now mine is just an educated guess like others who have predicted that SC would have won.... that is the reason we play the game. The game is who determines who wins the title.
Look at how Stanford stopped SC last year. It all comes down to the match ups.....
Had UCONN played Louisville in the final this year... would the outcome have been the same? We do not know... hence the need for the game.

Good thing WCBB existed before South Carolina became a top tier team, because we can use history to answer this.
UCONN and Tennessee played home and home games for a number of years before Pat Summit had a poor spell and moved to end the games. Many UCONN fans would say that she started to end that around the time of TASS and Taurasi because she hated losing all the time.... but

2000 we played them twice winning in each others home courts UCONN lost by one at home and Kara Lawson ran around the court yelling "We are number 1" and the next rankings came out and UCONN stayed number 1.
2001 we played twice and we lost Sveta down in Knoxville.

If you look at the calendar year in 2000 we played Tennessee 3-1. And that one victory was by 1 point and many believe Williams was fouled on the last shot of the game and should have had free throws... but anyways...

Stanford stopped us by way of confusing the sport they were actually playing with kickball and got away with it, which directly led to the points with which they beat us by.

Wow, I cannot take that seriously. I feel sorry for you.

Wow, I really do not give a frick. Perhaps watch that play. I don't need your pity. I have perfect eyesight and saw it happen for myself as did many others including former basketball players not associated with South Carolina who were covering the game who also commented on it.

I was responding to the comment that Dawn, who i respect, has accomplished more as a player and coach than anyone in the WORLD. That’s quite a statement.

As a Stanford fan I agree the refs missed a kicked ball, but SC still would of had to beat Arizona to win the championship. Plus SC missed two point blank shots in the last couple seconds.

Not to mention the fact that SC was down one with the ball and the chance to play for the last shot. Henderson proceeded to throw the ball to Prechtel with about 15 seconds on the clock. SC had multiple opportunities and didn't make the plays necessary to win the game. Stanford did just enough.

We're already deep in to the silly season I see.

Ionescu and Oregon were formidable beating the National team….I am sure they also felt like champions….You are assuming like you can predict the future and the past.

haha Kelly Graves winning a title? That's funny.

I gave my assessment of what happened. I was not rude at all. That person replied in a very condescending manner and unnecessarily so. And I'm not just sitting by quietly while someone acts like a total a**hole for absolutely no reason.

It's funny that there was an entire thread on this board whining about how Aliyah wasn't called for any fouls while UCONN was and how the disparity in refs not calling her fouls led to points scored that helped us win the game.

Yes. Silly season is definitely upon us.

Massey had Oregon ranked #1 at the end of the 2020 season:

Massey Ratings - College Basketball Women's : NCAA D1 Ratings

Computer ratings and rankings for CBW (College Basketball Women's), with links to team predictions, scores, and schedules.
masseyratings.com masseyratings.com

Massey gave Oregon a 58pct chance of winning a South Carolina-Oregon game.

So, all we know is it highly likely would of been a very good game that either team could of won.

PS- Interestingly, Massey gave Baylor a 54pct chance of beating South Carolina:

I know, right? It wasn't Henny passing the ball to someone wearing a Stanford jersey with 15 seconds on the clock or the missed wide-open layup with 1 second on the clock. It was the kicked ball and layup. Yep, that was it. The only play that mattered. SMH
