On a scale of 1-10, how nervous are you for the game tonight?

[EricLA]

Given that we only have 7 slots, I used even numbers ...

 

[HoopsFan21]

I'm not on the team so not nervous.

 

[Geno-ista]

I think we can be picked off any of the games vs most of the top teams. Just a bad shooting night or half like vs Tulsa recently, and we could easily lose. I'm not sure a loss would be good or bad at this point. I would have preferred to lose one earlier in season.
Just the way I see it- go huskies!

 

[dtbtbtb]

I'm nervous before every big game of UConn

 

[Dabber]

Very - just plain VERY

 

[JordyG]

Excited. Anticipatory. Hyped. Amped.

Sceerd? I love Dawn, but I've seen her team play this year.

Not

one

bit.

Why would anybody be nervous? It is just a game. Nobody had expected that the team would not lose a game this season, so it already exceeded it. The winning streak is already extended. What's the difference between 99 and 100? It is not one and done big dance game in March. So relax and enjoy the gAme. I am a UConn wbb fan, but I enjoy cheering for the underdog.

 

[warbler1055]

Kind of nervous. SC is a pretty good team and with all the media attention, who knows what will happen. If we play a our A game then UConn wins. But things happen!!!

 

[triaddukefan]

Not nervous at all

 

[MilfordHusky]

Not nervous at all

But you have so much vested interest!

 

[MilfordHusky]

I'm about a 4 now, but will be a 7 at game time. If we play our game, we'll be fine. If we are healthy and stay out of foul trouble, we keep rolling. This team is VERY resourceful.

 

[trb123]

Not at all.
I have libations before the game and predictions after.
My score predictions are never wrong.

 

[f1f1ferrari]

Not nervous - If UConn plays it's game (as they have 24 times this year), they won't lose. And I believe they will play their game, because they want to prove to the world that they can be just as good as when "The Big 3" were here.

 

[Zorro]

I voted 0,but fèel a need go point out that
we are doomed!

 

[warbler1055]

We are definitely DOOMED!!! Athletic Director Dave and Susan Herbst attending the game!!!

 

[60'sfan]

We are going to lose sometime and tonight's game could be the one. I just hope that if we do lose, when the game goes final, we give the girls and the coaches a standing ovation. They certainly deserve it.

 

[Vowelguy]

It's a regular season game.
That said, would like them to get to 100, and sure as hell don't want to lose to a team that lost to "those people."

 

[Chong-Master]

Geno, the all time Master of Mind Game and Motivation Coaching is again at work. He is planting a seed in the minds of his players not to get complacent in any way, shape or form, over this game and wants his players to be "on edge" all game long. It is when UCONN gets worried about an opponent, is when they play their best basketball. ONLY worry would be "IF" both Williams and Collier get into serious foul trouble. Then we are talking about Geno having to go with Butler and Dangerfield, and thus Chong would be heavily counted on to product points in this game.

 

[mntncougar]

I actually am at about a 5.

 

[tonehill68]

Not worried at all due to the fact that South Carolina have shown the ability to be scoreless or go on scoring droughts during games and they need to score and stop the scoring to even remotely keep the game close. Saying those words, I haven't seen a team that can stop Connecticut from scoring other than Connecticut. Like Geno said (paraphrasing a bit here) "We may not have that superstar but we have four great players, and if one of them are not scoring, someone else will". It also helps being at home for this outstanding achievement.

 

[eebmg]

I am on the fence (voted 6 nervous nellie). It is a fun nervousness. As I have said earlier, I just hope the ref's don't call the game too close and let the players decide the game. we have very little margin of error.

My impression is that we can have a bad half and horrible shooting and still win, as happened when we played Stanford while Maya was here and only scored 12 points in the first half. A horrific half. What allowed us to win was our extraordinary defense and our ability to focus on the next play and not let our shooting woes in that first half drag us down. I feel that the Stanford team we overcame that night to win a championship was a better coached team than is this USC team. I think that in all the time I've noticed USC (the last few years), I've never gotten the impression that they played good TEAM offense and though they've had some talented players, they seldom deferred their "scoring opportunities" to a teammate with a better opportunity to score. I guess I can eventually be proven wrong but it surely hasn't happened yet. The fact that South Carolina has lost twice this year while not playing nearly the elite teams overall that UConn has had to, I would be totally stunned for these kids to lose to USC tonight. I respect Dawn Staley's recruiting ability but I don't feel she's nearly the coach that Muffett or Tara is in getting her players to perform to their maximum ability! Not even close!

 

[ed4ourgirls]

I'll tape the game and watch it immediately if we win.

If we lose, I'll watch it on Friday maybe.

 

[Buzzyboy]

If they play their "B" game and stay out of foul trouble they win by between 10 and 15 points.
