Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2047805, member: 5798"] The perception of Uconn's women's basketball team next year by [B]Kara Lawson[/B] and other informed pundits of WCBB as being an embarrassment of riches, and even more formidable than this year's, has already begun to make its way around the country. That w-i-d-e chasm that Lawson spoke of at last year's final four between UConn and the rest of WCBB, should return. As other programs begin to lay the foundations and team goals of their program's 2017-2018 campaign, UConn will again the be bell cow of WCBB. Next year should be a return to glory for the Huskies. A return that some will say never left, especially if they go on to win this year's national title. As much fun as this year's team has been to watch, next year's team should prove to be even more. Why? The expectations will be much greater. Teams on UConn's schedule will be concerned, and with good reason. Pre-conference games with an average margin of victory of 20-35 points may not be a far reach. Of the 13 Pre-conference games, at least 7 (maybe more - they still have 1 more game to schedule) will be teams in the top 25. Those not on their schedule won't concern themselves with UConn, unless their paths cross in the post season tournament. The thinking there would be "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it". If the Huskies come together and perform as planned, the song UConn Nation will be signing with vigor and enthusiasm is "[I]Happy days are here again[/I]". This just may be the best team Geno has had at UConn top to bottom. Not only should they be the consensus favorite to win the national championship, they should also be favored to continue the current win streak if it is not breeched this season. The only draw back to UConn's return to dominance, is having to hear all the crying and whining (and gnashing of teeth) from the haters about how there's no parity in WCBB, because UConn has no peer. Oh well. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
