Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 2266733, member: 15"] SC was fortunate last year, just like UConn was in 2013. So what SC was placed out west; it's not like they had to win on another team's home court. The competition in the Stockton bracket was very favorable for SC. Remember, SC beat Quinnipiac in the S16. Losing Coates would have hurt more if she were the only post player. Her absence opened up the inside for Wilson. SC won because they were able to avoid UConn, much like UConn won in 2013 because they were able to avoid playing Baylor. UConn also played a ND team in the semis that had the pressure of having to beat UConn for the 4th time in a season. I say this not to diminish SC's championship, much like I won't diminish UConn's in 2013. They both count. But, like Geno said in 2013, sometimes you get a little lucky. [/QUOTE]
