Message: [QUOTE="soxfan23, post: 3421637, member: 9842"] Leading up to the Oregon game I was thinking about UConn's chances on Monday. I think Oregon is the better team and will win the game, but that certainly doesn't mean the end of the season! In fact, I think this UConn team may lose a couple more games this year, but I also think this season is very similar to 2012-13 and that the Huskies will play their best in March! UConn has been heartbroken in the tourney the past couple of seasons, and this year, I think we are due for things to break our way! In 2012-13 they had a senior guard leader Faris, this year they have a senior guard leader in Dangerfield. In 2012-13 they had 2 senior role players in Buck and Doty (due to injury), this year they have 2 senior role players in Irwin and Bent. In 2012-13 they had a junior that was a scorer in Hartley, this year they have a junior scorer in Walker. In 2012-13 they had a junior post that had a breakout year in Dolson and a soph shot blocker Stokes that was still finding her way, this year they have a sophomore ONO, who I think is a combo of the 2. In 2012-13 they had a sophomore former HS POY in KML and a sophomore lefty guard that was relentless driving to the rim in Banks, this year they have Williams which is a combo of the 2. In 2012-13 they had an explosive freshman in Stewart, this year they have an explosive freshman in Griffin(I know Griffin is not as good, they are similar athletes though) In 2012-13 they had a freshman guard in MoJeff and a freshman forward in Tuck, this year they have Makurat, who I also think is a good combo of the 2. In 2012-13, heading into the NCAA tourney, most viewed UConn as the 3rd or 4th best team in the country, clearly behind Baylor and Notre Dame. This year most view UConn as the 3rd or 4th best team in the country, clearly behind Baylor and Oregon. [/QUOTE]
