Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4520758, member: 7492"] I get all the "homerism" where logic and common sense are thrown out the window letting emotions and passions run wild but this thread is about 2 teams NOT named UConn. The NCAA Title will be decided on the court of play and not by some poll, which we know is not indicative of quality of the team (and why being ranked #1 before a tournament should not warrant a banner :rolleyes:). That said, to say Kim Mulkey is overrated is absurd. She's won 3 national titles with 3 completely different teams in different eras. Yes maybe she could or should have won more with Griner but she is still an outstanding coach. She took over a putrid team in LSU LAST YEAR and brought them to the tournament where they hadn't made an appearance since 2017 AND they hadn't won a first round game since 2014. She drastically over-achieved and didn't know what this team's roster was going to be comprised of when she created who schedule-YES, Angel Reese (who was coached by Chloe Pavlich-former UConn grad assistant) signed with LSU AFTER the schedule was created. Now I am not defending Kim's practice of regularly scheduling cupcakes but she has been known to play tougher opponents when she knows she has a better team. I suspect that next year, with Reese returning and #2 prospect Mikayla Williams arriving on campus, that Kim will play a "slightly" better OOC plus the SEC will ensure she gets both SC and Tennessee twice next year. [B]Ignore the pollsters,[/B] they do not seed the teams for the NCAAT. Hopefully the committee will correctly use the tools they have and see through the holes in the LSU schedule and seed them accordingly. However, the committee is made up of 11 members, 5 of whom are P5 members so there is some scrutiny that I am sure will arise. [/QUOTE]
