Message: [QUOTE="GoChips20, post: 4127605, member: 11308"] As a proud Carolina fan, I don’t [I]want [/I]this team to go undefeated. Losses make Dawn Staley’s teams[B] [/B][I]so[/I] much better, and I’m still haunted by the memories of the Gonzaga men last year. It’s not that I think the Gamecocks aren’t mentally tough enough to handle the pressure, but a tough reminder that you’re beatable is good every now and again. With that said, I would be shocked if Maryland, without a player over 6’3” and without a player who plays consistent defense, can even remotely threaten SC. The NC State and Stanford games were not flukes, Benzan or no Benzan. I don’t see UConn beating SC on the road in January (that’s a completely different story should they meet elsewhere in the NCAAT, though), so at this point I think Stanford is far and above the most likely to knock off the Gamecocks, although I still wouldn't favor them to do it. If Paige misses any significant time, it’s likely to harm the Huskies in the short term but may pay off in the long run as it’ll force some others to show their stuff. Obviously hoping for the best, though. [/QUOTE]
