Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4836886, member: 12088"] I assume that when you say "we would be fine" you mean that we could still be a credible NC contender. Perhaps you merely mean that we would do reasonably well in the tournament. Either way, I share your concerns and especially your insights about Ice and Q. Someone in another thread described Q as still being a HS school kid physically and maybe emotionally too, while KK and Ash are already college adults. When you say she doesn't know enough to doubt herself, that seems just about right. Plus she's got a toughness and fire about her that peeks out occasionally and it will serve her well. In the last 2 games, Q's been on the receiving end of a couple of hard fouls and looked like she wanted to get back in the face of the opposing player. Aaliyah held her back from one in the Marquette game. I don't think she'll ever be a hot head -- she's got enough cool to figure out how to avoid that, and she'll learn soon enough that dropping a few daggers is the best revenge. But I like that she's not easily intimidated. We'll need that from her. [B]Since[/B] the UCLA game, I haven't thought we were credible NC contenders. But that doesn't mean we aren't [B]in[/B]credible NC contenders. It is unlikely that we'll even get to the final four. And yet I never count Paige out of any competition. After all, who woulda thought we could have made it to the NC game two years ago? Without Paige, it's difficult to see ahead, but with Paige... [/QUOTE]
