Message: [QUOTE="SEbluebood, post: 4664942, member: 7105"] Few quick points. 1.Believe it or not, I am a UConn grad and huge fan of all UConn sports, but I don’t drink the National Flag Blue Kool-aid and see everything through rose-tinted glasses. 2. My pet peeve is probably obvious from my posts. It is simply this. Some fans,as is their privilege, simply want to confer greatness on teams and players when it simply isn’t yet proven. Doesn’t mean it won’t be. Doesn’t mean I don’t want them to be right. IMO, some of the things posted are just flat out silly or worse stupid. It’s a sports chat board so I shouldn’t be surprised. I try to ignore most of those that I disagree with, other times I respond and try to use facts to provide a different viewpoint. The fact is,for whatever reasons, today Azzi is a career 34% 3 point shooter. So is Caroline. And the freshmen are unproven at the college level. 3. Finally, do I believe and hope that Azzi can be a consistently great player and shoot better than 34% from 3 ? Absolutely! I never said I thought she couldn’t. She just needs to stay healthy and prove it. And do I think this team can be national champions? Yes, of course I do. But I am not of the mindset that they are unbeatable , overwhelming favorites to do so or that they are some type of flawless super team. I hope they prove me wrong go unbeaten and win the championship, and that you all can tell me you told me so next spring!! [/QUOTE]
