Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2582755, member: 7492"] OMG!!!! NO, JUST NO... The game was tied at 54-54 with 7 and half minutes to play AT UCONN. This was a great game and was decided on a 16-2 run. Final score was 72-61. This was not a "smoke". Honestly, the amount of disrespect my fellow BYers show towards other programs is insulting. Louisville was regularly predicted to be 20-25 point blowout. Texas was predicted to be 15-20 point blowout. Now the vitriol is directed at a very good Baylor team, who by the way, have very good guard play with Kristy Wallace, the recently injure Chou, Alexis Morris and the energizer bunny aka Minnie Mouse-Didi Richards. This Baylor team is a legitimate NC contender and a worthy opponent. How would we match up with them is interesting but Baylor also has great guards. Kalani Brown, while improved her conditioning is still prone to too many fouls and would not handle 40 minutes of up-pace basketball. That said, it wouldn't be 40 minutes at that pace. I believe this UConn team, when all is said and done, will be one of the top 3 teams in its annals, however, they also face some pretty good opposition-unlike 2002 and 2016 teams. This game would be close and of course the possibility of a blowout by 15 could occur due to shots falling but more likely any range from 1 point to 12 points. Just please be more respectful of the opponents and their skills. Last I checked, the WNBA does not have ONLY UCONN players but other wonderfully skilled players who played their college ball elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
