Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3503724, member: 10435"] Alexa Philippou misinterpreted Gens's comments last night about Oregon in her article in the Courant today. He didn't say Oregon would have won the NC. He was asked, of the 3 schools, Baylor , SC, and Oregon, who would win. He was given therefore a hypothetical of those 3 teams being in the FF. He grudgingly said that if it was SC and Oregon in the NC, which he would expect from those 3 teams, he gave the edge to Oregon due to experience. He was not asked the #1 question which is how far do you think we would have gone if we were in the same region as Oregon. I bet, after a lot of equivocation, he would have said that the way we were playing at the end of the year, he liked our chances. His answer to that question might also have given a clue to next season aa to the style of play. The late season defense and up tempo transition this year fits a 10 player or 11 player (grad transfer?) roster very well with the added bonus of being able to full court press for extended periods of time. I would have liked to get even a remote clue as to what he is thinking. He also said he never saw another player liked DT. Even coaching her in U18 one summer before she started, he was amazed at not only how good she was but also at how the force of her personality uplifted the other players. [/QUOTE]
