I'd like to take the under on the 7 maybe losses. What a number to shoot for. The implications are unreal considering Geno wants to play the best teams before conference games begin. If there are 7 I hope they are before the big dance. We do have high expectations, I feel the young lady Husky's share them. With the influx of talent coming next year to UConn and WCBB in general we are in for a treat, let the good times roll!
It’s just a long range guess. We know other elite teams will also enjoy an influx of talented players. That’s what makes following this team so much fun. Everyone likes a winner, and what made the win over South Carolina so encouraging.
I look forward to a return to the “good old days” when UConn’s OOC schedule featured 7-8 top ranked teams. You have to assume there can always be an ”Arkansas“ or two on our schedule. How they play those games is the rub.
Three players (Dungee, Correa & Park-Lane) had BIG games against UConn this year. UConn was able to win two of them. That one loss humbled UConn. Some say it was a wake-up call that hit its mark. UConn has played much better since.
How far will this team go? There are some teams in their bracket that could send them home. Lest I remind you that #15 seed sent #2 seed Ohio State (men's tournament) home. Crap happens!! I fully expect an upset or two on the women's side. Please don't think it can't happen. Our team has already exceeded the expectations of many fans, just based on the number of freshmen on the roster. Can UConn defeat two experience and veteran one seeds? Is that a bridge too far? That’s what it will take to raise the championship trophy.
