Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4245364, member: 26"] Your post reminded me of the Philosophy course I took in college. A lot of "If A > B and B > C, then A > C." But the reality is that "on any given day". I say it that way because if 2 or 3 UCONN players have an off shooting night (Azzi, Paige, Christyn for example), our shooting advantage is gone, and probably our guard advantage as well, since opposing teams can play zone and pack it in, making the game a total grind. IMHO this UCONN team has the talent to win it all. However, while the players we have had available this season (sans Aubrey) are now supposedly 100% healthy (Geno mentioned the mental side as still an issue), we have not seen the team put together a complete 40 minute tight effort, never mind a 30 minute, or even 25 minute, effort. So this team is like a box of chocolates. Lack of consistency, easily explained IMHO by the revolving door of injuries and illnesses this season. We finally got all the players back late in the season just before senior day, but even the BET was not a seamless display of solid team chemistry. So what team will we see in the early rounds? The middle rounds? The late rounds should we advance? IMHO I do expect our improvement to be greater than pretty much any other team out there - mainly because we were missing so many important parts, and we got them all back late in the season. No other team had that situation. So if we are playing up to the potential that we all know is possible, this team has a great shot. But there are a LOT of unanswered questions at this time. Too soon to speculate how good we could be, or how we will match up (for me)... [/QUOTE]
