Message: [QUOTE="Longtime fan, post: 3020276, member: 7093"] All things come to an end. It came to an end for the UCLA men, a dynasty under John Wooden. This, too, shall end. The women's game is finally getting broadly more competitive. Look at the upsets this season, already ( eg North Carolina beat Notre Dame ). It is great for the game, but not so great for UCONN lovers. Tonight, Louisville was clearly the better team. It was a role reversal; we played like Louisville for the past 16 years and they played like UCONN. We have a strange situation, in that our two all world freshman ( and an all world sophomore ) are not playing like previous all world, young UCONN stars. Williams has become scary bad. When she missed her initial 8-10 footer, I figured she was done for the night... Loss of confidence. Then, later, she launches an " open look" air ball. Something is amiss. It seems as if the ND game was a myth. ODO can't do much of anything. She gets her shot stuffed by someone who is about half her height. Misses lay-ups. And I will wager this; not one person in the free world expected her open 10 foot jump shot to go in. It never even occurred to me that it might. Pheesa is not an outside shooter, either. So, if they make it impossible for Katy to shoot, it is all on Crystal. And Crystal has to do everything else. Walker missed about 6 put backs, right? She did rebound well, but that mattered little when our offense was so useless. There is little to say here, except that we lost to a better team. We can't find a scapegoat either ( exams, travel, weather, freshman malaise, the competition in the AAC, etc ). We are not that good and don't want to admit it. [/QUOTE]
