Message: [QUOTE="JudgeSCR, post: 2077087, member: 245"] 1. KLS has improved this year. She is not the same high school girl her big sister dominated. If KLS is taken out of the game by her sister (a good but not great college player) then she doesn't have the mental toughness I think she has ... and we should stop hawking her as an All-American. 2. The loss to Stanford two and a half years ago doesn't haunt me. Neither do the Notre Dame losses before that. That doesn't mean UConn can't lose, but it does mean that after 100 straight wins those ghosts have left the premises. 3. If we can't beat Stanford (or Baylor or Maryland or ...) then we are not the best team in the nation. If we are the best we shouldn't fear playing any team. Respect them? Yes. Recognize their strengths? Absolutely. Understand that if we don't play well we could lose? Sure. Hope we don't have to play them? Not us. Not the UConn women. They all should be praying they don't have to play us. If we play our "A" game I don't think there is a team in the country that can beat us. If we don't things can get tricky. Until proven otherwise I believe that Geno and company will have them ready and they will perform in the next 9 games as they have during the season: with poise, grit and talent to match the occasion ... and all comers!
