I go every year to watch them play Seton Hall at Walsh, which is an old style close to the court gym and sometimes to Finneran at Nova, also providing good game looks. I think the BE tourney is even better though. Forget about the pundits. The BE regular season and tourney play didn't seem to hurt us very much this year in the Big Dance. I think we all remembered this year how good Geno is with an almost completely full, very healthy team and some depth. The defense was extraordinary this year. The switching was lightning fast, anticipatory, and seamless. The best evidence is probably that the #1 ranked team in the NCAA, with the country's best post player, scored a measly 22 points in the first half. Jana looked pretty darn good in that game I might add. While we lose Paige, KC and Aubrey ( very sad her career was injury plagued} on defense, with Paige being the most underrated defensive player in the country, I expect the defense to be tremendous again this year with a lot of depth in the front court and a lot of size and shot blocking/altering ability. That was a good call by you about Jana all season long. Man, she really answered the bell when needed. This #12 team will be an all-time favorite for many. The speed and precision were just astounding. We just left no doubt, none at all and it was a true statement piece. [/QUOTE]
