Forever Tenn played close to home because they had the biggest fan base. Did they have an advantage? U Bet they did. Pat won 8 NC's. Think about that for this year and I mentioned this in another thread. What team wants to face a healthy UConn team now? What would be fair? We saw a depleted UConn beat Depaul Creighton and Tenn pretty bad.
Now that you've all seen Azzi what do you think? We beat up on a good Tenn team without Paige Caroline and Dorka playing only a few minutes. I think many of our UConn fans are beginning to think like me. lol We are a very very strong team lead by guards who can put up alot of points in a short amount of time. More importantly they are playmakers. Some top teams dont have great guards at least none have a Paige Azzi and Caroline. NONE. Guards lead teams to championships and UConn has'em. There will comparisons of Paige and Azzi and Diana and Sue. Right now Paige and Azzi have to show they can do what Diana and Sue have done....and they will.
I caught some flack early in the season when I said I was told Azzi resembles (is not Maya but resembles) Maya Moore. I also mentioned that Azzi is as good as Paige. I was told that by people who know. Some of you didnt believe me. Some of you who dont know me dont know what I know and some of you who know me know I know. I dont post BS. For those of you who are new to this board I wanna say there are people who post to this board that have sources, connections and know alot about what is going on Try to read inbetween the lines when you read posts. For those of you who dont, who these posters are, dont ask who they are. Those people remain quiet for good reasons.
Back in the day when Geno and UConn were taking over WCBB there was alot of hate. Some people didnt want to see that happen. Geno and UConn have put WCBB at another level and fans should be grateful. You think its easy to do what Geno has done for not only UConn but WBB as a whole.
If UConn continues to blow out everybody and I think we're at that point now to consider it. Its only fair to leave UConn in CT. For no other reason then UConn has earned the right to host the regionals. After all why do you think they are having a Regional in Bridgeport? They are having it in Bridgeport because UConn draws big and is willing to pay alot of money especially in lower Fairfield County to see their Huskies. You dont think they scheduled Bridgeport for some other team do you?? You think when they held the Regionals in Tenn they did it for some other team to host????
The selection committee has a problem. UConn is getting healthy and coming back and stronger then ever. You could see this over the past few games. Yesterday we saw vintage UConn. Vintage UConn is a team that can pass the ball, and execute UConn basketball and it almost doesnt matter who they put on the floor they run their plays and score. I remember a few years back when UConn was hit with injuries and was entering their OOC schedule. Maryland Penn St and a couple of other top 10 teams. UConn had injuries to KML and I think it was Bria Hartley and one other key player. Fans were concerned. We won every one of those games because we were able to plug in players who could run/execute Genos plays. Thats what we did against Tenn and we did it without Paige Caroline and for the most part Dorka. As big and as tall and as strong as Tenn is they couldnt handle it.
I kinda get the impression from reading the board that we have some believers. Believe UConn can win it all. I think with a healthy team we can dominate any team in WCBB for the rest of the season and the next 2 seasons looking forward. The biggest question now is how will opponents defend us. Going into the NCAAs we have Paige Azzi and Caroline hitting from deep and for the most part will be shooting over 50% for the game. How do you defend all of them without leaving one of them open. We're gonna get a good taste of what to expect from UConn over the next few weeks. When Paige gets back and I think that will be towards the end of this month. She will be the one missing piece that puts UConn over the top. More importantly we have a young BIG 3 coming back for a few more years. We also have veterans in Christyn Liv Dorka and Evina who can lead these young stars with their experience. Their leadership will be very important down the stretch.
Over the past few games we've seen alot of players reach a new level of play and you know what? Theyre gonna get better. This is what happens in February players reach another level of confidence and they believe they can do it.
Who is the selection committee going to have UConn face?? The selection committee has a tuff choice to make. On Selection Day....The first thing every coach and every team is going to look at is where they're scheduled to play and the second thing they will look at is where is UConn.
