Message: [QUOTE="osceola48, post: 2987182, member: 2371"] As Geno often says, it is really hard to come out and play your best game after game after game. I don't think UConn played their best against Baylor, especially with a less-than-30% shooting rate, but I also think Baylor played an excellent game, and also that UConn will have trouble with any good team that has bigger, taller players in the lane. But no, it is okay to lose a regular-season game, especially if you can say that you didn't play your best. I would much rather have a mid-season loss than a play-off loss! What hurt the most in the last two is that UConn didn't play their best at those two crucial points in time. Those were great teams and I wish Gabby and Kia had won at least one of those two NCs. How UConn came out so flat against Miss State after a blowout win in the Elite 8 still mystifies me. UConn was a far better team. And last year, UConn-Notre Dame was a closer match-up, but again, the A-game was not there. So hopefully, there is only one bad performance a year, and this year it happened before the tournament, instead of at the final four. Fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
