Dont worry about UConn.

Watching LSU/TX I noticed TX outshot LSU and everything else was relatively equal. LSU is quick and as good as TX defense has been LSU's quickness I believe was the difference.

Vandy looks well coached. One superstar and they know how to win. The SEC is a tuff conference. Many of their teams will have multiple losses because of their schedule. So much for stacking your conference by merging with other conferences. Geno had some tuff OOC teams scheduled who lost players through injury or the portal which has made UConns SOS a little less than what it might have been. Now we had ND and Tenn left in our OOC schedule and both are good tests. Maybe not like SC or TX but still good tests. They are just as good of a test as they are in their own conference.

UConn has speed quickness and depth at every position. No other team in WCBB has that. UConn has 2 AAs in Sarah and Azzi and both are go to players with experience. The ND and Tenn game will bring UConn back to reality meaning UConn wont take them lightly and the starters will most likely play more minutes than theyve been playing. I agree when UConn gets those 30 and 40+ leads they seem to get bored and part of that is Geno stopping the pressure which slows down the energy they had. He also clears the bench which again plays a little softer because of lack of energy thats a result of playing suffocating defense. UConns defense eats up opponents and then when Blanca and Kayleigh come in they wreak havoc. and take it to another level. This is the difference between UConn and everybody else. Overwhelming defense that creates havoc for opponents and creates energy for UConn.

ND and Tenn will be good tests. Both teams will be up for this game. So will UConn.

Alot of great games were played over the weekend. That LSU/Texas game was really good because it just showed that on any given day, any team can get got. For the past few days all we heard was how LSU was this or that. They have a soft schedule and they got exposed. On an on it went. They beat #2 Texas and not a word about their "soft" schedule. Just an example of on any given day you can get got.

The reason why I am not too worried about UConn, they got multiple scoring options, and it is early in the season. Coach Auriemma talks about how when you walk into a gym and see your team for the first time and go, okay I got this, so we can run this system. Or we don't have this, so we have to do this instead. With this team, I love the make-up of the team. We got speed. We got quickness. We got size. We go small ball, we got plenty of ball handlers. So, when the Lady Vols press us, we have to attack and make our shots. With the multiple handlers out there, as long as we are attacking and finishing, we are good. This is why I am not worried about UConn.
