rating UConn for the big dance

If they play defense like they did today, they have a chance. Everyone talks offense, the team's with Stewie would turn games with defense. That will be the key, you need 5 minutes to Seperate, and then you don't leave it to miracles.

Thank you Old Dude, the key always is consistent defense, with a few minutes of great defense to win a game.

Regardless of who is back UConn should be a lock for Elite 8.

A lock for the E8 ?

This team is still inconsistent. The team against Tenn could do well. The team against Providence could lose in the 2nd round.

And unfortunately we cant rule out that some other nutty thing will happen and a player could miss a game.

You need both.

Barnes is a great coach of people. She gets her players to buy into the system extremely well, making good players great. If she ever gets top talent watch out.

In addition, she the "attitude" (mostly in a good way, though sometimes she slips) that her players seem to have acquired....and that will require battling them to the last whistle.....relentless is probably going to be their middle name.
