Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2525857, member: 1772"] Thank you for bringing a level of sanity into this "discussion!" All this hand wringing in the wake of a gritty road victory against a VERY talented team is laughable. As most championship-caliber teams do, UConn found a way to win under tough circumstances despite having something of an off-night shooting. But the fact is that all of us who love and appreciate this game should be thankful that other programs are getting closer to UConn. It's great for the game. If winning a championship means doing so against inferior talent, what meaning does that accomplishment carry? Is UConn an [U]outstanding[/U] team? Clearly! Is it perfect, and therefore unbeatable? Not only is the answer no, but sports would not be sports in any area that boasts such a team. Fans today freak out at the very thought of a regular-season loss in a long basketball campaign. That's totally unrealistic conceptually, and only exists in the realm of possibility in regard to those rare programs, like this one, that have spoiled its fans with a few examples of that amazing phenomenon. So, even UConn has demonstrated that, good as it is, there is room for improvement and there are things yet upon which to work...duh?? Let others whine. I'm as confident as ever that this team is on an inevitable march to Championship Number Twelve...that's twelve with, as Lawrence Welk used to say, "with a one anna two!" [/QUOTE]
