Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2120059, member: 5798"] [QUOTE="Sonny44, post: 2119143, member: 742"[B]]They have 13 losses don't they, and play in the pac 12, right? I'm not losing sleep over this one.[/B][/QUOTE] [B]Exactly!!!! [/B]No disrespect to Oregon. Take them seriously, yes. Fear them, no. If UConn can't beat a double digit loss team (20/13 - /8/10) with a sub .500 conference record, the they don't deserve to advance. Please do not allow yourselves to become prisoners of the moment. [B]Oregon had 10 losses in conference play. [/B]If those teams could figure Oregon out, why can't Geno and staff? I'll bet the entire staff is watching Oregon game film [U]right now[/U]!!! [B]Oh ye of little faith -[/B] What???????, all of a sudden Oregon has become a Juggernaut, and now they're invincible? Please! :oops: Allow me to share an observation here: Is anyone assuming that the 13 teams that beat them play a better brand of defense than UConn? Pardon me, but I'm not familiar with any team in the [B]Pac 12[/B] whose defense comes close to rivaling UConn's. Let's not forget what Geno said yesterday in a presser, if they (UConn) can score 90 points, then he'll trust his defense to make those 90 points stand up. He also said that he would much rather prefer to play a team that they didn't play this year. Ding ding ding!!! Oregon qualifies here. Oregon as not seen the likes of UConn this year. They can watch all the film they want to. They can't replicate what UConn is going to bring to the court in a walk through, or a short practice. You don't prepare for UConn in 1 day. [B] Last thought:[/B] A quick revue of the this year's schedule shows that [U]no team[/U] scored 90 points on UConn. One team (Maryland) scored 81. Only two teams (Florida St 76 & UCLA 71) broke 70. If UConn can score in the high 80's or low 90's, they'll be in deep cotton, and on their way to Dallas. :) [/QUOTE]
