Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 4118948, member: 8636"] I guess you're referring to when UConn was in the BE before. What was so different then? I am a relatively new avid fan. I love DT but I only watched the big games. How much more competitive was the BE then than it is now, besides ND of course? I think the scheduling pre-December this year was I think the # of really good team in WCBB is still basically the same as it's been for decades. What, 10 teams tops? But I want to say that the difference is is in the athleticism of the women across the country. UConn or anybody for that manner cannot just run their sets without expecting to be obstructed by good athletes across the board- 25-30 teams maybe. So, for example, UConn advances and all of a sudden they run into a hot team with a bevy of good athletes with a hot player or two, and boom, it's over. (AZ, ND, Miss St) To me that's the difference. IMO the best "players" are still at UConn. Records speak for themselves. IMO Geno needs a system that can beat the teams of the 2020's, more athletic and stronger. Pretty passing games aren't the answer IMO. O needs to be simplified taking advantage of the team's strengths. A good MS offense- dribble drive pitch. D more diversified- mix in presses and zones, utilizing depth of personnel. Gotta change with the times! [/QUOTE]
