Message: [QUOTE="PAHuskeyFan, post: 2519103, member: 7880"] Completely agree. It's not like Sports Teams are "machines" that perform the same every time they compete. Things happen. Players have good and bad days, players are injured or return from injuries, and so on/so on. As noted, Lou was not 100% when UConn played ND...1st game back from 4 off due injury = rust... She was supposed to only play 20 minutes (or so). She played 28...and probably would have played 32 -35, except for another ankle issue. Gabby scored 2 points in the entire game, played 0 minutes in second half because of Migraine issues. So, these game to game comparison are of little value. ND was NOT the same team last night that played UConn a few weeks back. UConn is not the same team today that played ND previously, and Louisville was probably not in the same place as a team as it was 3 weeks ago. I checked Massey projections today, and it still has the same projected Score and MOV in a UCONN / Louisville match-up as it did before the Louisville / ND game last night. I would have expected to see a narrowing of the MOV...but no change. No one can predict the future with 100% accuracy, but the "computer models" have not changed. I'm expecting a pretty significant contest on Feb 12th... and will of course be rooting for the Huskies. Perhaps this will be a prelude to the National Championship Final...as our President would say... "We'll see what happens." [/QUOTE]
