Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4391179, member: 12088"] Those are definitely reasons for SC fans to be confident. You’re projecting optimistic readings of the new kids forward and assuming the veterans will perform as they did previously even without Henderson. That’s exactly what we’re doing with UConn. And admittedly UConn’s fan optimism has a more precarious foundation than SC’s fans have. But that may play into our favor, since the culture of the team over the last two seasons has been less juggernaut and more scrappy survivors. We made it to the NC game last year, after all, picking up believers among the rest of the country only along the way. Now here’s the big leap — if we aren’t plagued by injuries again, and if SC doesn’t catch the injury bug this time around, a second meeting in the NC game is possible. The only difference would be that SC will mainly look the same except for a question mark at pg, and we’ll look rather different, perhaps a bit weaker than last year, or maybe surprisingly stronger. Since this is a UConn fan forum, you will have to grant us the benefit of the doubt in deciding which of those two options we’ll all say is more likely. [/QUOTE]
