Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2044948, member: 1772"] This thread, in my opinion, is what we Southerners call "passing strange!" I suppose that only fans of a team that has amassed eleven national championships, including the last four, and has reeled off one hundred straight, can feel that they have the luxury to indulge in this kind of "thinking." It's not that there's no place, even for a team that boasts such unparalleled success, for reasonable criticism of individual player performance. It's that the very premise upon which it is based misses the fundamental point of what makes a team great. More specifically, it ignores the key difference between a great TEAM, which this iteration of The Huskies certainly is, and a team of great individual STARS, which it isn't (and doesn't seek to be). A great team is comprised of multiple reliable components, and therefore very hard to prepare for...one never knows, from game to game, which player or players will fill up the stat sheet. In most games, all of us want to rush to put Lou on Mount Rushmore. But just as often, it's Pheesa, or Gabby, or Kia. If an opposing coach game-plans well for any one, one of the others will inevitably step up...the very definition of a great team! So Lou had a cold shooting night vs SC? Oh my, the team is doomed.....not! As the season approaches tourney time, all those who wish to bet against Lou's performance when everything is on the line please seek me out. [/QUOTE]
