"The big question is whether this loss will have a similar impact that the loss to Villanova in the 2003 Big East final had for the Huskies that season. That year UConn's players refocused and promptly won six straight games to win the second of three straight national titles. Or will the loss resemble what happened in 2007 when UConn's tumble to Rutgers in the Big East final served as a warning that the Huskies weren't emotionally ready to make a run at a national championship."

Don't know why it has to be an either or situation. The number of possible outcomes on the season are numerous, especially since we're comparing three completely different teams, in terms of personnel.

Exactly. Good point from Jim. The 2003 team had Diana, a junior. The 2007 team had Renee and Tina, a sophomore and freshman. I really don't know where we are headed.
