Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 3830800, member: 3535"] And ditto- please I mean this - also replying back to you with respect. I don’t want to make it sound like I'm a cold-hearted . . . too. Though with respect- it’s okay we disagree, right? So-- I reject what you're saying for a multitude of reasons while a couple not directly related to your view though indirectly it is:. 1- I reject notions from some that conference affiliation has caught up to UCONN. 2- I reject notions from some that UCONN can't remain The Giant they are and win multiple titles because of their conference affiliation. 3--I reject the notion that blowouts can’t help a team. 4-- And I reject your notion that this was "garbage time." For a simple comment when I went to games (watch now on TV and played in non-college back around dinosaur time) if I felt the end of the game was "garbage time" then I would have left (or now I would stop watching). But I didn't leave - Even when I played if I felt end of game was garbage time and I couldn't learn something my coach would’ve probably kicked me off the team if I were to suggest that. But in terms of 1,2 and 3 above every time posters mention them in any way having any validity to them I usually reply with a disagreement. Because what they are suggesting and what you are suggesting runs counter to everything I played for and everything I believe in. If I were to believe this is really garbage time then blowouts aren't any opportunity for growth. Then UCONN will fall soon from being The Giant because their conference isn't as strong. None of this I believe. So- imo this UCONN team is still a team trying to find out what it is and the team is very young. As a result, imo none of this should be thought of as garbage time for these players for this particular game. And not all 30 point blowouts are the same. And some games you need to bench some players. Other games prepare for other teams etc. This game needed to see the others play. [/QUOTE]
