Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4846809, member: 3834"] Let’s face it. We’re playing with house money this season. Clearly we are not supposed to win it all this year but, as the season goes on and we play better and better and more important, as our players develop, I’m feeling more and more froggy! Geno is absolutely coaching his @** off and suddenly it’s beginning to look like Aaliyah is going to have some real, legitimate help in the post, our defense can stand up with anyone in the country, and we’ve got an offense that is running like clockwork and putting up 85+ points per game! Once again, I’ll stipulate here that we are definite underdogs against SC, UCLA, and LSU. However, we are unlikely to play even two of those three, certainly not all three. I’m convinced that, especially by the end of March, this team ((with a modicum of luck) will be capable of keeping it close against any of those teams, and if we are within 4 or 5 of anybody in the last 2 minutes, we have the best closer in all of basketball on our team! So, basically, we have nothing to lose! No one expects us to win, but I promise you, no matter who we’re playing in the elite eight, final four, or the final, if we’re close at the end, it won’t be us that’s sweating!:cool: To me, this season sort of parallels the Sarah Strong recruitment. Most have given up on her coming to UConn but the thing is, we’ll be fine either way. We’re going to be one of the most talent laden teams in years whether she comes or not! Likewise, if we don’t win the title this year, It’s not as if we really expected to anyway. We’re essentially looking at a free shot at both a generational player and a 12th title! That’s hard to beat!:p [/QUOTE]
