Okay….who’s nervous?

Wish list:

Strong gets a double-double: 24 and 12
Azzi gets hot from three: 7-9
Shade breaks out of her season-long slump and scores 14 points
KK puts in a master's class on defense and holds Raven to 4 points
Williams gives us 25 quality minutes, doesn't foul out, and plays tough defense on Okut
Jana's ever-ready battery is fully charged and comes off the bench, ready to play.
Blanca shows that she will be a starter next year; she plays starter minutes and fills the stat sheet in points, rebounds, assists, and steals
Kaleigh stays out of foul trouble, comes in off the bench, and wreaks havoc defensively.
UConn scores in the 80s while keeping South Carolina in the low to mid sixties.

I know I am asking a lot...but, after all I am only a fan.
 
I’m always nervous before big games, but always watch. Don’t really understand those who choose not to watch our girls live. That’s not to say that I don’t continue to have great stress throughout the game…I do!

If you look at my avatar, you can see how I deal with the stress🍸.

GO HUSKIES🏀🏀🏀

When it comes to Uconn , everything you are asking for is DOABLE! I love your positive comment and willingness to say it. As a fan, it is my contention a non-positive post should occur. I believe in the team and Geno ( the Master ) that they have the game under control and has the blue print to win every game. I need say no more, WE WIN!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!!
 
I will be nervous and stressed, which is too bad considering it's supposed to be entertaining. I have prepped myself somewhat by semi convincing myself just getting to the final four is a great accomplishment and the world goes on spinning if we lose. That said, unless and until we are up 20 I'll be stressed to the end.
 
I've been nervous about this game in particular since at least December. Dawn knows the workings of the UConn offense and Sarah and Azzi very well may find it difficult to operate. This is the game where they need some combination of KK, Ash, and Blanca to play at their potential. I do feel better knowing Blanca has been great so far in the tournament, Ash is overdue to make a few, and KK plays at her best in big games.

Edgy.... I will watch from the start (but no pre-game).
I expect "runs" and anticipate Geno making a great
adjustment at half time. I respect Dawn's skill as
a coach, but, even if it is a close game I fully expect our
"Grit" to win out in the end. Given all the optimism however
I sure wish we had Paige suited up for us.... But...
We have Sarah, and AZZI, and Blanca (and everybody)
and YOU, USC, don't! Go Huskies!

I’ll watch a Hallmark movie rerun for the two hours of the game and then die just once when I look at the final score
Why Hallmark? It’s absolutely positively guaranteed to have a happy ending 😙

My neighbor does the same deal with Hallmark or Lifetime movies

Yeah. I watched the first 15 minutes of the pregame, we have no chance. They all but inferred it. That’s why I am now excited

I always try to convince myself that it’s just about the journey and not everything is about winning and losing. But winning feels so much nicer. 😂
 
Geno said "we're not as good as we look."And after watching SC in the Sweet 16 I'm really nervous.
 
33 minutes into the pregame, it’s a UConn infomercial….we can’t win.🫩

Now 40 minutes in, every segment has been about Geno, Sarah, Fudd, the bench. They do, however, show a picture of a South Carolina player or Dawn Staley as they go to commercial. So that’s good.
 
IMO, to infer that SC doesn't have a chance is dealing in an alternate reality. I'm a UCONN fan, enthusiastic and proud about this team, but it seems obvious to me that SC, and, indeed, any of the final four teams, could win it all.
They are four truly outstanding teams, and everything will depend on execution - something that will be determined on the court tonight and on Sunday.
 
Lastly, and this is my last post. Please please please NCAA have the women’s tournament somewhere on the East Coast where attendance would actually fil-a stadium. It’s seven minutes till Tip off, and I can’t believe the empty seats. Hoping is just late arrivals.
