Message: [QUOTE="Conndog, post: 4461981, member: 5939"] It's easy to root for the women, still competing but not "struggling to win". The reason why they are "struggling" (keep in mind, they have one loss, but do play Maryland tomorrow at 3 on ABC) is injuries. Their best player is injured and out for the year. Their #1 recruit is injured and out for the year. Their top scorer is out 3-6 weeks now, but no guarantee it won't be longer. Another key player had off-season hip surgery and while back is not in game-shape yet. Their point guard suffered a concussion last game and will miss some time, hopefully not much. Their starting center played first two games, broke her thumb, and has missed last six games, hopefully she will be back soon. If men's team had same injuries, then imagine if 1) Best player- Adama Sanogo- is injured and misses the entire year (like Paige Bueckers) 2) Their #1 recruit- Donovan Clingan- suffers injury in pre-season and misses entire season (like Ice Brady) 3) Their best shooter- Jordan Hawkins- gets injured after 5 games and misses next 3-6 weeks (like Azzi Fudd) 4) Point guard Andre Jackson gets concussion and misses a couple of games (like Nika Muhl) 5) A key player- let's pick Alex Karaban- had off-season surgery and is not same (like Caroline DuCharme) 6) Not sure who to use for center with a broken thumb being out last six games- happened with women (Dorka Juhacz) Would men still be undefeated? Would they have only one loss so far like the women? Go Lady Huskies! [/QUOTE]
