Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 2927783, member: 4"] Apparently the Huskies can’t field a team able to compete for a championship based on the sudden and precipitous dive of the team? Let’s reflect - After winning 4 consecutive national championships, UConn merely made it to two Final Fours and in each case losing by 2 points in overtime. Looking more deeply, the Huskies have been to 11 consecutive Final Fours, winning 6 championships in that time, 4 of them without losing a single game. The last regular season loss was Nov. 17, 2014, another 2 point overtime game. Geno’s teams went 408-16 for a winning percentage of 96.2%. Wow, that Geno’s really losing it. Looking at the last disastrous year, the Huskies only won by an average 36 points against most of the best teams in wcbb that year, including the eventual national champion. Their record is 72-2 in the last two years for a winning average of 97.3% which gives these disaster years a better winning percentage than the championship years. People are becoming a little unhinged. The Huskies don’t need (or want) guaranteed championships; they just want to put themselves in the position of being able to earn one. Yes, parity is creeping up in fits and starts so, yes, it will be harder to win but why is it only harder for UConn and not everyone else, too? And how can we possibly appreciate winning unless our team loses every one in a while? I don’t know if the Huskies will will the championship this season but I do know I’ll enjoy watching the only team that starts three #1 ranked high school stars and plays with an enjoyment I haven’t really seen for a while. I’m not worried at all about who Geno didn’t get and am loving the ones he did get. [/QUOTE]
