Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5179792, member: 12088"] Yeah, SC and UCLA look like world beaters, though for very different reasons. And yes, we lost to ND and USC. But I think we could beat either of them in a rematch, and heck, we almost beat USC the first time. So, yes, if we end up in the same regional as SC or UCLA, making it to the final four looks like a long shot. What reason is there to hope against SC and UCLA closing everyone else out of a shot at the title? Well, for UCLA, it’s Cori and her signature tournament swoons. For whatever reason, she has not succeeded in March recently, and this is a trend that may continue. And for SC, it’s their frontcourt, which is small compared to recent years and compared to a number of their rivals. Heck, even Iowa is bigger than they are. Their hopes ride on their backcourt, which is formidable. If anyone thinks SC can match up with UCLA in the frontcourt, then they should also think a lot of other teams can too. UConn may not be one of them as things stand right now. But things will change. [/QUOTE]
