Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 3248443, member: 15"] LOL. Rankings. WTH? As you should know, rankings and how players produce in college are two different things. It's about the team. Experience also matters, particularly when it comes to FF games. All 5 of ND starters in 2019 were drafted in the first round. Brianna Turner often injured? She looked okay to me. It was Lou who was coming of a late season fracture in her vertebrae. BTW, Young and Ogunbowale were both drafted ahead of Lou and Napheesa. Rankings, right? Williams was a freshman and Walker a sophomore. You're wrong on 2019. In 2011 UConn had Maya and a bunch of inexperienced players. Dolson was the starting center and we all remember how she was mocked as overweight and overmatched that season. Hartley, also a freshman, was the starting point guard and not ready for the bright lights. ND was the more experienced and better team once the tournament started and it didn't matter that UConn had Maya. Muffet knew she had the better team by the end of that season. Forgot 2012. ND beat UConn in OT in the FF semis. The teams were pretty evenly matched except UConn didn't have anyone as good as Skylar Diggins. In 2013 ND beat UConn 3 straight games in the regular season and BET championship game. ND was the favorite in the FF game and rightly so. Stewart grew up after a very rocky freshman season. She played 7 minutes against Baylor. In the regular season finale against ND Stewie played 40 minutes and made 1 basket. No one who knows anything about WBB was surprised Parker never lost to UConn. The Huskies weren't very good (no FF in '06 and '07) and Parker and Tenn were really good. Parker had some really good teammates. Taurasi's UConn teams beat Tenn in the Final Four! UConn's PG was Maria Conlon! Barb Turner was the PF! [/QUOTE]
