The phrase "piece of work" comes to mind.No response. No clarification. No apology. No deletion of post.
Classy.

We'll see. As I said, the Walker, E-H, Coombs, Gordon class had almost no impact. The year prior CD had her share of excellent games and moments but couldn't be counted on consistently against the better competition. And this year's class has been ONO rarely getting off the bench and a killer start by CW followed by struggles and no impact in the Baylor or Louisville games. A rare exception would be KLS who started slowly and then finished with impact.
Mind your manners or leaveWe've been really underrated this year, and here we are sitting at 20-1.
Both Louisville and Mississippi State have been seriously counted out this year. And in regards to Louisville, what happened last night again?

Some people cling to their victim complex like a security blanket. I don't know how anyone can claim they've been "underrated" and "seriously counted out" when they've literally been the favorite in every game they've played—including in the one game they lost.Mississippi State was the overwhelming pick to win the SEC by the media and coaches. McCowan was nearly the unanimous choice for preseason SEC POY.
I can’t say I thought for sure you’d be 20–1 at this point in the season, but underrated? No. You’re appropriately rated at this point... if you were 20-1 with SC’s schedule up to this point you’d be the #1 team in the country probably, at least top 3 (at 20-1 with our schedule you probably would’ve played Clemson, Maryland, Oregon State, Notre Dame, Baylor, Purdue and maybe even Duke before Christmas)..
Holy.
I didn't expect my post would excite 6 people. That's the amount of alerts I got after checking this morning.
Fair enough your points are all valid. I'll try not to read into things I observe too much. From my impression, a lot of people think we're just gliding by our "cupcake" schedule and nothing we do seem to impress people that much. I get that our win vs Marquette was a close one, but Marquette is an elite 8 team who's averaging about 25+ point scoring margin which is about #6 in the country, and that is about their overall ranking if I had to make one. They have a starting lineup full of pure scorers. Every single one.
Everything else we've done operated by expectation if not exceeded some, all except that weird one vs Georgia. I admit I underestimated Oregon, they're better this year. Did just see Utah tighten the ship on them a little bit... but in the end Utah didn't have enough great players to make it a 40 minute game. Megan Huff would start for Vic, but the 4 other players would be riding the bench in Starkville, so I can definitely see that Oregon and Mississippi State are at least a tier better.
I also get the impression that people think Louisville is worse this year. However, as Thursday night proved, they don't look like they've skipped a beat from the team that took Mississippi State down to the goal line stand last year.
I hope I clarified, ya'll! I just enjoy talking basketball, ya'll!

Depth sure. How much immediate impact? UConn is still struggling to get that out of this year's class and last year got almost none outside of Walker's game against UCLA. It's not that simple to plop freshmen into a team and hope they make you a contender.

Blah blah blah.

Don't spout a bunch of rude nonsense if—and I expected as much—you don't want to be called out on it.Don't ask for clarification if - as I expected as much - nothing I say is going to end up satisfying you.

This nets out my thoughts as well. I have to factor down any team that is depending on 2+ frosh to play key roles as either starter or sub.We'll see. As I said, the Walker, E-H, Coombs, Gordon class had almost no impact. The year prior CD had her share of excellent games and moments but couldn't be counted on consistently against the better competition. And this year's class has been ONO rarely getting off the bench and a killer start by CW followed by struggles and no impact in the Baylor or Louisville games.

"Nothing I say"
Did I miss you saying everything?
Even 0.1% contrition would've satisfied.
I do not evaluate a team by the rank of the opponent but rather the quality of play of the team. I am biased in favor of MSST but early on, in the cupcake games, IHoly.

Your sincerity is overwhelmingOk. I'm am so very sorry UConn lost to Louisville. And I didn't do anything to mitigate that. I mean that. (no sarcasm)

Why do you have points of ellipsis at the end of your messages? Are you implying that your message is to be continued?Ok. I'm am so very sorry UConn lost to Louisville. And I didn't do anything to mitigate that. I mean that. (no sarcasm)

Move along, please. Find another thread to participate in...
All kidding aside, you Boneyarders have been consistently the most amusing people I've encountered on the internet.
Need one post ready to rebound and defend.
Other than that the team can handle improvement with returning players and take the freshmen for whatever they can give.
Not the #1 team but I suspect it starts in top 5.
Faith people do root for the Knicks. They pretend the team is really one aged player away from winning it all. They disregard the truth and the reality. All you did was change the subject.Huh ???
They won't be. What's ranking have to do with anything. #1 is the winner of the final game, not the 1st game.
Rational ? How do you figure that. As a Longtime Fan you got delivered NC after NC --- by undeniably the best program directors and managers arguably in all of sport and you're ready to jump off a bridge on an off year, or maybe 2-3 years. ---some would call that the definition of IRRATIONAL
--You are entitled to nothing. You are owed nothing, Not by the coach, not by the players.
Buddy - hate to say it but you don't deserve another NC.
FAITHLESS
Go root for the Knicks
