I mean that winning national championships is really hard. We were blessed with an amazing line-up the past four years. When he was asked what were the key factors in winning the NC last spring, he answered, "There were three: one, two, three. And while counting off each, he pointed to Breanna, Moriah, and Morgan. We were blessed with an amazing line-up then.
My point is that we don't have that amazing line-up anymore. Even Kiah Stokes, a critical cog in the past, yet uncelebrated, is gone to the WNBA.
This year, UConn will be faced with a thinner line-up, particularly in the front court, while their top opponents are loaded with returning stars. Even Coach Geno admitted that this year will be different.
It won't be automatic this year. Just sayin'...

During Senior years---Geno usually puffs up the seniors. This group was good, really good--no doubt. But
Rebecca, Walters, etc won and were missed terribly--thinking is this the end?? Then Sue, Swin, Asia(sp), Tamika, add DT, and a lull, then Maya, Tina, Rene---until Steff, KML, KIah, --
Point is --Uconn fans cannot sit around and moan--we lost Stewie , Morgan, Moriah--
It is NOT who or what you lost---it is about WHO YOU HAVE.-- and uconn has experienced talent at almost every position--some of the best talent in WCBB is right there in STORRS---Not to mention the greatest WBB coaching staff EVER!!
That is why I say---the Queens are GONE---LONG LIVE the NEW Queens (Katie Lou, Gabby, Napheesa, Kia, Chong, Butler, Crystal, Lawlor, Kyla, Molly--then next year Stephens, etc)
I guess I have to remind you and those fans from other teams----IT IS NEVER AUTOMATIC----EVEN AT UCONN--IT TAKES WORK --DEDICATION--TALENT-- WORK--PRACTICE--WORK--CONDITIONING--WORK--COACHING.
NOTHING IS AUTOMATIC!!!!!
But seriously, it's just a symptom of the new reality in journalism proofreading, or lack thereof.
