Thanks. O.K. so we only have to stay off until November. Lol

To win a national championship you can’t lose vital starters, but we have depth at wing. God forbid our starting center Reed goes down then Reibe can’t do this by himself as a freshman and we go “small”. Would that hold up against elite competition in the tourney? I don’t know. Are our 6’8 guys strong enough to do that?

Nova managed it

I think any team's title hopes are reasonably doomed if their starting center is a key piece and gets hurt. I find the best way to handle that is to not worry about it. I mean how much more confident will I be if they bring in a Singare 2.0? Not much, I'm thinking

Rightly so.

Key portion of that response from the perspective I endorsed: “we could lose a player as long as it’s not…” (insert names of three projected vital starters). Thinking more about this reminded me of the 2009 final four loss and how we’ll never get to know how it would’ve ended if Dyson was with us all the way through. Of course we all know here it would’ve been another UConn championship, but the world never gets to know that.

Edit: your* point, which I endorsed. I don’t disagree about the potential depth we’ve got giving us a cushion, but like you said, there are those guys whom clearly we cannot lose.

I know this is the wrong place to be advancing this argument but I’m not sure that, even with Dyson, UConn beats UNC in the championship game that year. Impossible? No, but that UNC team is a wagon.

Almost definitely would have beaten Sparty on their de facto home court though for sure.

Or at the very least you're on social looking for UConn content way more than him.

That’s a fair assessment. I was just taking the default pro-UConn stance.
