Thank you. I know everyone is sick of me with them, but I honestly do it because the resistance to see how good they are is childish. You can be a UConn fan and recognize another team is really damn good. I don't like them, I don't route for them, would love to beat them - but they are really effen good. They are the team to beat. Hopefully we are the team to beat them.
Gary Parrish called this today.
They really don’t. Our defense is better. Reed can handle Lendeborg, our bench is 2x better than theirs. Let’s see what they do against Duke. I am more impressed with them.
If Reed is covering Lendeborg then who is checking 7-3 Aday Mara? Are you suggesting UConn go double bigs?
Agreed. That was the point I was making in a different post and the reply I got was Michigan is Great. They are good but USC had so many self inflicted, unforced errors. Like the Big East this year, the Big 10 isn’t very good.
UM is the best defensive team in the country right now, by every metric. UConn is generally 2.
They beat the number 6 team in the country by 40 on a neutral court, a team with a better KP than us.
I don't think Reed gets Lendenborg. He'll get Mara. I think they'd throw Stew or Ross on him. He plays the 3 for them, so him vs Mullins to start.
The B10, is one of the two best conferences, by a good margin. Need to just stop with this. They have UM, MSU, Illinois, Purdue, Nebraska.....
If you think Gonzaga is better than UConn, I don't know what to tell you. I don't care what Ken Pom says. And, by the way, Michigan hasn't come close to playing the level of competition UConn has this year, nor has Gonzaga for that matter. I am knocking Michigan, but you have them as the greatest team of this century the way you defend them and attack others who simply post that USC is not a top 25 team. Not sure you really read my post.
That's what I was getting at. I wanted the poster who said Reed would cover Lendeborg to realize on his own that really wouldn't work.
what position do you think Lendeborg plays? You put Reed on him and it's gonna look Drummond trying to check Royce White all over again.
They have that option. Or we can put Ross or Stewart on lendeborg as he’s 6’9”.
Lendeborg and Morez Johnson would be really tough assignments for AK/Ross/Stewart but those are the guys who would be guarding them.
I've noticed whenever Mich comes up on here that there's very few posters that are actually watching them play because folks keep suggesting cross matches that don't make a lick of sense with what they're trotting out there on the floor.
What a silly post. At least say it.
Those games you mentioned were at the beginning of the season, simple as that.
It just becomes hysterical at some point.
How are Ross or Stewart gonna cover Lendeborg if we’re presumably playing our normal starting lineup?
To SJ's point, do our best and see how the mismatch favors us offense. If it's out of hand, bring in Stew/Ross.
Clingan, Spencer and Karaban say hello. If you can play, you can play.
