Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2506305, member: 3535"] [B]1- Would Lobo have come if there were no Bascom to get UCONN to the Final Four[/B]? Didn't Kay Yow say that she was the one that set-up Geno? It was the upset of NC State getting to the final four according to Yow that put Geno on the map, - wasn't it? Can't it be argued in this manner? I can't find the quote now, but I know she said something to the effect her loss helped make Geno/UCONN. So maybe it was Bascom that set the stage? Lobo's family didn't want Rebecca to go to UCONN, right? If UCONN lost to NC State as they were supposed to and didn't get tot the final four, possibly Lobo never comes because she doesn't feel they cna get to championship level? [B]2- Would Maya Moore have come if there were no Tina Charles?[/B] The UCONN program [I]had leveled off after DT left[/I]. Three straight years no final four - and their rankings were anywhere from 6-16? In addition, I was there in Hartford when North Carolina ripped UCONN apart in 05-06. The year before they beat UCONN too. And in 05-06 the classy UCONN fans gave Ivory Latta a standing ovation I believe. Tennessee was the elite program (along with LSU and North Carolina, Stanford and Duke. Do you remember UCONN was losing recuiting battles with Duke?) we were during that time with Parker. Rutgers was giving UCONN fits. Unfortunately- with Tenn we had to witness Parker dunkeing on UCONN/ beat UCONN - I was there for that. Never thought UCONN was better than Tennessee during the Parker era until Maya came. Then I thought we at least had a chance. What makes you so sure [I]Maya would have came if Tina Charles wasn't there? [/I]At least I can be skeptical of your confidence, right? The year before Tina came UCONN got wiped out by Standard pretty good in the S16. Then when Jess Moore graduated, look at UCONN's rebound margin in 05-06. We have about a +3 margin. Without Tina and UCONN getting to the Elite 8, I am not as confident as you that UCONN gets Maya. Maya I'm sure wanted to win championships. And without a big - I'm not so sure she wins championships. And then without Maya . . . [B]3- And I see no problem with putting the better players on a list. [/B]It's an opinion. Mt Rushmore and basketball don't have any correlation anyways. It's based on opinion and fantasy sports. I can understand both sides of Rebecca on or off. [/QUOTE]
