Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 4591702, member: 11599"] As we patiently await tomorrow's game versus Ohio State, I thought it would be great to share a little love for Villanova today against Miami. I know this is the UConn's BB site, but wouldn't it be great if two Big East teams made the Final Four. I realize I'm getting ahead of myself, but I remember 1985 when Villanova, Georgetown and St. John's made the Final Four on the men's side. Villanova shouldn't be intimidated by any team after facing UConn 3 times. Although they came up short each time, the experience in facing the top women's program of all time has to carry dividends, particularly now. Denise Dillon has done an awesome job in her first three years as head coach. Maddy has been Maddy in their first two games, and she takes on the responsibility of having to put up 30 points a game with grace. Lucy Olsen reminds me a lot of Nika in that she is spunky. The Nova role players, while not as talented as other UConn players, have made pivotal contributions, and hopefully they will continue. Christina Dalce is a diamond in the rough and if she works on her offense this offseason, she could make a leap similar to what Aaliyah did this year. I'm looking forward to today's game as prelude for tomorrow's beatdown of OSU. [/QUOTE]
