Message: [QUOTE="jdote33, post: 5143891, member: 11252"] Great question. I really wanted Paige to have an undefeated season. Each season we have threads about mount Rushmore at UConn and I wanted to see her on that list. I think it gets harder to put her there. Additionally I fondly remember the game her freshman year against South Carolina and her just willing the team to victory. And Monica Mcnutt was doing the call and she jokingly said it's scary she's just a freshman. And so to me, probably idiotically, I kinda felt like she had this air of invincibility. I thought the program was sortve headed in that direction. Obviously there's been a ton of injuries since then but the Louisville game kinda felt like a return to that. Like a dominant UConn team. So I actually did sortve have those expectations again this season. The loss and just the way the team lost changed that. I think someone mentioned it in another thread and I forgot to respond, how there's such doom and gloom regarding the program since they haven't won a natty. I think not winning a natty is one thing, but I feel like not being dominant is another. Like Paige freshman season they were pretty dominant even though they lost in the final 4. I just think there is a different feel. I think there's an expectation that they'll lose at South Carolina. [/QUOTE]
