Is Michigan the Best opponent

[donalddoowop]

Something to think about. We beat 3 great teams last season in the FF and had them all by a lot. What has so many of you so concerned about UConn in this game. Michigan is a really good team but not as talented as UConn. We will win by double digits and I dont think there will be much of a challenge. Im not putting Michigan down they are good but then theres UConn.

This aged well.

This aged well.

If they scored their normal average in the 3rd Q, it would have been another double digit win.

Yeah. Huskies went scoreless for 8 minutes, Swords used a game genie, and #1 is still #1.

If they scored their normal average in the 3rd Q, it would have been another double digit win.

If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a tricycle.

Yes, IMO Michigan is the best opponent we will see before the final four.

Her wheels will there before we score 4 in a quarter.

Great game to learn from and still get a win. These games are scheduled for learning against tough opponents. If the Huskies win, it's a bonus in Geno's mind. These games are all about preparation for March. There will be plenty of material from this game for Geno to improve and plenty of really good moments too. Exactly what you want in this type of early season game.

If MI made their normal average in the 1st quarter, it would have been a Mich win, period

At that moment, I think Geno meant so far this season. But it may also turn out to be true for the entire regular season.

I don’t know the exact quote, but I believe he meant in the early part of the season.

Syla Swords hits 12 points in the 4th Quarter... Azzi hits 13 !! = We Win!

What is the purpose of that observation?
One could easily point out that if UCONN shot at their average for the third quarter it is most certainly a bigger UCONN win.
There is no end to hypotheticals. They are all senseless. Period.

Safe to say that Michigan is our best opponent that we have face so far this season, especially if teams play a trapping zone, got snipers, and got some length on them. Hats off to Michigan. As a Michigan WBB season ticket holder, I gotta say I am pretty excited making that flight or drive from Minneapolis to Ann Arbor to watch some Michigan Wolverines this season. Heck I always enjoy watch Minnesota and Michigan WBB games. Growing the game, I love.

Yes. Michigan is the best opponent we will face.

The comment was made to counter another ‘senseless’ hypothetical (if Huskies shoot better in the 3rd it’s a double digit win).

Both teams had 2 quarters where they torched the other team and two quarters of pretty even scoring. UCONN won the game despite it being close. Both teams have areas they excelled in and areas they played below their potential.

 

[donalddoowop]

Yes. Michigan is the best opponent we will face.

No. Maybe regular season opponent. Don't be surprised if they don't get past the Elite Eight.

Whew, that was closer than it needed to be. But you learn a lot about yourself and your team when faced with adversity.
