Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2579410, member: 199"] I find many of the reactions to my OP to be interesting - I was not intending to be so obscure in my meanings which were pretty simple. 1. There are really no guarantees in sports 2. Uconn is a very good team, but not unbeatable. 3. There are some other teams that are very good this year, but none of them have a better resume than Uconn. 4. People who look at an 11 point win against the #4 ranked team (or an 18 point win against any team) and see 'disaster' are pretty ridiculous. Finally sporting competitions are supposed to be fun and at least occasionally competitive. Uconn has had a few very dominant teams in the past, but even those teams did not play flawlessly. Tony and his 150 game winning streak projections are fun for their fanaticism but Stanford and St. John's and others have proven that on any given night ... It is human nature to be pretty silly, like the off season pundits who predicted the Patriots had a solid chance to go undefeated this past year, a prediction that didn't last the first 60 minutes of the season. Uconn will likely enter the NCAAs as the favorite team in the field but ask the Russians in ice hockey or the patriots in football, or last years Uconn team or ... how that looks in retrospect. Uconn, Baylor, TN, and Duke to name just of few of the defeated favorites in WCBB have coaches and players who understand reality. [/QUOTE]
