Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2637241, member: 7492"] I always appreciate your input as kind, considerate and thoughtful even if I don't particularly agree with it but I always respect it. If I may offer a "different perspective" for you where I disagreed: USF in 2018 has lost 70-54; 82-53; 100-49 In 2017 100-44; 96-68; 102-37 In 2016 75-59; 79-59; 77-51 In 2015 92-50; 88-65; 84-70; In 2014 81-53; 63-38; Closest game was 14 points and 16 points and at no time was UConn in any serious trouble. Most games have been blow outs so to say they match up with us is not correct. Whether we like McGuff or Kelsey Mitchell should not have any bearing on what the program has actually accomplished, which I think plays too heavily on our minds over here. They have won or tied the Big 10 Championship each of the last 2 years, have been to 25 NCAA tournaments, been national runner-up and has a pretty good coaching pedigree with Tara Vanderveer, Jim Foster and Nancy Darsch. They are a top program. Not elite. My definition of consistently strong is always in the NCAA, making the round of Sweet 16 regularly, occasional FF and winning the conference on a consistent basis. The teams that qualify under that are Baylor, SC, ND, Stanford, Maryland, OSU, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Louisville and with upstarts Oregon St, Oregon, Texas and Miss St. I also consider Duke, FSU, Georgia other schools more in than out of the top echelon. Again, I always respect your consideration so please do not be offended by my perspective. [/QUOTE]
