Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4225797, member: 3535"] But the poster I replied to paraphrase said "that you have to throw out the metrics to grant UCONN . . ." Yet aren't you agreeing with me that there is [B][I][U]metrics[/U][/I][/B]? That was my point. As for perfection, which metrics is perfect? And which metric can you cite that accounts for injuries other than some form of an injury metric? Especially what UCONN went through? Regardless of how you felt they should have performed without 6 other players the fact is they didn't have them. That should count. And it should count enormously when it's a former NPOY that was ,missing and is now back. That's not a "normal" addition to the team (and to WCBB). So we're supposed to throw out the metrics that can be favorable to UCONN and minimize the injury situation because some fans want to stick out their chest and say "So what, we're UCONN?" I have to say - I have a little of that in me too. Though I'm not so into that FF streak other than to argue with some on here that make comments like "Geno has jumped the shark. . . which was said on here and some (Note I say "some" not "all) other over-the-top criticisms. Instead, I'm looking at it like UCONN is playing with house money. If they get a 3 seed so be it. I think it very silly as of this moment. But maybe after BE I won't. But this stinks for SC. I know this is a UCONN board and we don't give a damn about nearly any other team, but imo I'm only trying to be fair. I know some (maybe you as well) don't think that I am. But imo one issue is SC deserves better. It has nothing to do with them "being scared." Just remember if in a few years from now if the shoe were on the other foot and a similar swap happened and UCONN gets stuck with a team potentially like UCONN is in our region, then no one can tell me "You were pretty silent when UCONN was a 3 seed . . . so you have nothing to complain about." So if SC beats UCONN now and Boston whips us. But next year she is hurt along with 5 other core players from SC while UCONN's next season they don't have much a center but are awesome number 1 -and SC comes back healthy and Boston is back and it appears they are peaking - and they put SC in our region; then yeah I'll probably complain again about the selection process.
