Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3832461, member: 1673"] I recall when, even during our most dominant seasons, [USER=4]@HuskyNan[/USER] would point out to angst-ridden posters what happens every season around this time, that there is a dip in consistency and sharpness. The college season is long for nonprofessionals. Keeping mentally in the game, every game, is very much something that needs to be conditioned over time. This is not unique to UConn. UConn was so dominant at times that it prevented the consequences of such dips in consistency midseason. For merely great teams, including UConn this year, inconsistency could mean a loss if it did not coincide with a dip in consistency from a worthy opponent at the same time. If anything, a Covid season makes these dips in consistency even greater. I agree with all the others that think there are a number of teams who could win it all and not too much should be read into a loss midseason. The two most salient factors to me right now is that UConn is usually a team that performs at its best in March. The other is that SC's loss came early season, like last year, and NC State's loss came with Cunane out. That may indicate that at least those two teams also will perform at their best during March as well. We shall see. [/QUOTE]
