Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4084423, member: 5823"] Strongly disagree with this. Keep in mind that this team has to incorporate 5 new players, three (Dorka, Azzi & Caroline) of who are expected, per Geno, to play a significant role and possible contend for a starting spot. The Battle for Atlantis could possible see UCONN facing South Carolina and Oregon both ranked team on a Neutral court. Don't see either of those games being decided by the the time the 4th quarter comes around. UCONN also has 4 consecutive games against ranked teams beginning on December 5th against ND (Yes ND is a ranked team ) and ending with Louisville on December 19. The Louisville game is kind of ominous because it coincides with the end of finals week on Dec 19th for UCONN. The in between games GT and UCLA are essentially away games in Atlanta and NJ respectively. Later in the season (Jan 17th) UCONN takes a cross country trip to play at Oregon. Later that month (Jan 27) UCONN heads to South Carolina. Think about it this way: even if UCONN is fortunate enough to beat Oregon and/or SC in Battle for Atlantis the rematch will be at their place. Lastly TN vs UCONN was a 6 point game last year while I predict a higher MOV for UCONN again I don't see that game being decided by the 4th quarter. By your definition I could see up to 9 UCONN games this season that are close. If this team is steam rolling teams by the time Christmas comes around I'd be simultaneously happy and worried about sustaining that until April rolls around. [/QUOTE]
