NC Playoff Poll Finale

[j66kicker]

I'm kind of bummed - I thought it would be closer. Still, I think recent memory wins out for a lot of people - but it appears most think the 2016 was the greatest NC team ever.

I wonder how it would have come out if only those who actually watched the 2002 team back then could vote.

Seven replays are available to watch at the UConn Husky Games website.....

Well, there you have it. Per the BY, Team 2016 is the best NC UCONN team in history. 63% to 37%. Pretty impressive win.

Would be a great matchup. One of the few teams that had some physicality and soph experience (not a frosh) to match up with DT- Nurse could as well Gabby. The 2016 team needs their bigs of Tuck and Stewie to play most of the game up front. The thing is - 2002 was a rugged team. What is probably forgotten is how tough Tamika was especially as an offensive rebounder. ALONG WITH their most versatile defender. However Tamika may get offensive rebounds but she never saw a player like Steie come at her with incredible help/shot-blocking skills.

And we saw that Texas did pretty good by having their super-soph defend Stewie. Tamika was a superior defender vs that kid.

IMO these two teams are the best. The 2015 team a little too young at the sg position with Nurse- and Gabby- DT would kill them. Geno said during finals of Oklahoma - UCONN he could have isolated DT anytime he wanted but never wanted to play that way. The 2014 team didn't have enough scoring punch - you could layoff MoJeff and Stokes as BOTH Stanford and ND did.

It would be the ruggedness fo 2002 vs the prolific spacing of 2016. Bad referees could have decided this one!!
