Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2965659, member: 5798"] It's just human nature. Some fans are content to take the season one day at a time, one win/loss at a time, while others like to look ahead, far ahead, and wonder what might/could be. When you look ahead, you look over and dismiss some teams that appear as "sure locks" to win. Sometimes those locks are not locks at all, but losses disguised to look like easy wins, kinda like the 3-6 Sooners looked before last night's tip off. Funny thing, the Sooners didn't get that memo, because they didn't play like a 3-6 team most of the evening. UConn didn't play like the #1 team in the country either. Their timing was way off. They couldn't even knock down their bunnies. A perfect storm for an upset of monumental proportions. If OU had not endured a 5 minute scoring drought at the end, UConn would have lost this one. UConn over took them during that 5 minute drought. The #1 team in the country losing to an unranked sub .500 team. That loss would have been 10 times worse than their loss to ND this past March. UConn would have fell like a rock out of the 5 for sure. Much to ND's delight, as they would have moved back into the top spot in the rankings. I think OU got tired at the very end, and could not close the deal. They were not afraid of UConn, and had their number for the first 35 minutes. Cal will be a much tougher opponent on Saturday. This game if nothing else served as a wake-up call for the Huskies. Don't think that the entire Cal wbb team and its coaches weren't watching this game. This game had to give them hope they may not have have before. Hopefully our girls got the message this game sent them, we'll see.
