Message: [QUOTE="Alydar, post: 4749937, member: 730"] Compare Lou to Morrow. Morrow has been playing in the BE, a conference that is considered considerably below P-5 level and yet no one in the media suggested that the move up will pose even a sliver of trouble. She is expected to fit right into the rotation if not be an immediate starter. I haven't read a single doubt of that. Senechal came from an even smaller conference but the difference between it and the BE wasn't that large if UConn is removed from the equation. Senechal was the unanimous POY in the conference, putting up outstanding stats and dragging her team into the NCAA's her 4th year. And yet the entirety of the media comments were filled with doubts about her moving up to the BE and the need for her to show everyone she could play. That's the result of lazy journalism. It's easy to just accept the media's version of who is who, Good information about players and teams is hard to get, but the media has become little more than a huge reality show where the winner was determined based on their public appeal.
