Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4552948, member: 3834"] Realistically, it is likely the FF streak will come to an end this March. However, that likelihood is based on the current state of our roster. Clearly, this team is fried, physically and mentally! However, youth, rest, real practice, and the return of; Dorka (very likely), the continued improvement of Caroline (also very likely), Lou’s recovery from a month’s worth of bruises & dings ( very likely) and finally (the big one), the return of Azzi at 80-100% (hopefully possible), could/should change this team tremendously! [Personally, I have had a hard time even recognizing the team that has taken the court since the SC game. Obviously, there is/was a reason for that but it’s been nevertheless, disheartening. Couple that with Geno’s obvious frustration and seeming inability to make needed moves to help his team out (not all of which is his fault), and we find ourselves at the lowest point I can remember since I first started following this team.] If, and I realize it’s a big if, all of the above happens and they can somehow banish this funk they have fallen into, there is still a chance, even a good chance, that they could get on a roll and make it 15 in a row! It seems like a lifetime ago now but I remember how I felt after we beat Texas in Nov?. Even though we were later to realize that Texas was overrated, I still felt like this team had a real chance at number 12. Well, after all the injuries, ups and downs of what has been a brutal season, we have the possibility of having that same team that inspired me to dream of #12, into the NCAA tournament! Though undefeated, I don’t see SC, the clear favorite, as some unbeatable force that is simply going to roll over everyone in their path! They’ve had several close calls, in spite of having (as far as I know), no significant injuries. Remember, the closest call was from us! (Without Azzi or Caroline) As for the rest of the field, sure, there are a handful of teams that are quite good but none that a healthy, happy UConn team would not have a solid chance against. Can they get back to that healthy, happy place in two weeks? Stay tuned! Same Bat channel…Same Bat time! [/QUOTE]
