Don't Compare It, Savor It

"We all compare, that's what we do," Lawson said. "You see something as dominant as what UConn has accomplished, it's so great that you want to think of something greater that it can touch. Instead of 'We haven't seen this before, this is awesome,' it's 'I don't even know what to compare this to, so I'm going to say [the Huskies] would win the Olympic gold medal if they went to fricken Rio.'

"Why do we have to make up something that's not true? Forget all that. Stop comparing. Just look at it and say, 'This is crazy. We're in the middle of something we've never seen' and celebrate [UConn] and talk about how amazing it is."

UConn Vs. WNBA Team? Don't Go There, Say Lobo, Lawson, Burke

this is choice:

"I don't think people respect the athletes who are in the WNBA, respect the fact there are players who have played 10 years pro," Lawson said. "These are grown women who have worked on their craft a lot. To say flippantly like Schaefer did, 'Oh, a college team could beat [a WNBA team]' is disrespectful to all the players in the league.

"But if I lost by 60 I might be saying something like that, too."

The poor guy is also quoted elsewhere, accurately observing, that "they could have won 120-38".

Agnes Berenato used the score 150-38 which might be more accurate.

And she provided specific examples of what UConn did, quarter by quarter, to avoid that. Forget where the podcast is now, but it was a good listen.
