Message: [QUOTE="Bajan Best, post: 2136132, member: 7387"] We are really spoiled as fans I mean really... For as bad as UCONN played and as well as Mississippi State played, you would have thought this game ended in a 60 point blowout... Think about it, MSS played really well and we played poorly for long periods and yet it took them overtime and a buzzer beater to send us home.. This was/is an incredible team UCONN put together this year.. All of a sudden this same team that won impressively all season over teams with collectively bigger and more dominant front courts, (According to some BY Experts), loss because of our lack of a taller post presence.. To me that is just plain silly... MSS made some early buckets, which led to their confidence on offense, played aggressively on D, and in so doing flustered the best College team in America for a good stretch in the first half, taking the Huskies out of their rhythm and forcing them to exhort more energy than normal going one on one.. Turnovers and Rebounding more than anything else and a few mental lapses is what cost us the game, those things occur when you are fatigued, Give MSS the credit for executing a game plan that was effective in taking us out of our game... It is that simple.. We have done the same thing to several other programs... [/QUOTE]
