The Difference

Agree…this is our best chance to win a national championship again.. if we can’t get it done today then when would it happen again.
 
Uconn is now a confident team. The big win at South Carolina changed this team from "We think we can" to "We can and we will". It was also a transtion point for Paige, IMO. This also looks to like the best coached team we've ever had. Win today, and we become the team that others try to emulate. We've also got more athletic muscle than in the past. The future looks great too.

Uconn is a lean,mean driving machine. We have coalesced into this unstoppable entity. GENO and CHRIS have done a remarkable job in this transformation... I still remember Dawn's face while the game was going on in Feb. It was definitely a look of defeat. I want to see that one more time!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!
 
Aubrey on a no minutes restriction would be great not saying she should get crazy minutes, looked very good the last 2 games.

I would love to see Aubrey matched up against Fulwiley.

What I've always wondered (for over 20+ years) is why you feel like your lone opinions always deserve their own thread. Optimism and radicalism are two very different things. I remember you predicting a 20+ point blowout for our Huskies during Griner's junior year on the ESPN boards and we got demolished by almost or more than that exact total. Yes, UConn was firing on all cylinders last game versus UCLA. I was so happy to see Azzi looking like the Azzi we all know she can and should've been had injury not unfortunately reared its ugly head. I'm not shocked Paige's interview with Holly Rowe at the end of the game showed none of the braggadocio that you seem to always exhibit and live vicariously through. Quit giving us non-vocal fans a bad name.
 
The UCLA surprised many fans. SC is more athletic than UCLA. The game should be closer however UConns defense should be able to win the game for them. SC plays good defense and depends alot on their athletic ability which will cause them to force more shots and take UConns defense for granted. That will result in TOs. As much a in their first meeting where UConn embarrassed SC, SC will be ready for UConn but will not be able to maintain that pace for 40 minutes. Barring injuries are fouls UConn by double digits.

They've been playing to win, and not to lose since the SC game.

UConn All Tuned Up and Ready to Go!!!
 
All the pressure is on us. Paige to win her first. Geno to break the drought.
 
Today's Referees:
  • Felicia Grinter
  • Maj Forsberg
  • Gina Cross
Three veterans who have called several UCONN games & are familiar with their style.
Grinter is prone to calling touch fouls, but hopefully the refs will let the players decide the outcome.

I don't know, Chax, but there is a big difference between Paige Bueckers, who is a warrior in the arena and who has to live in the competitive community with these same players that she beats in games and the players and support system around her that help her be able to do what she does, and Tonyc, who is a fan. Tonyc doesn't have to be humble; he is guilty of simply being an emotionally invested fan like most of us. Most new threads on this board begin with opinions. Tony is entitled to his opinion; you can agree or disagree. I do not see any reason to make it personal. For what it is worth, Tonyc has been on this board for over 30 years. No one's opinion is infallible. This is no more apparent than if you read the Prognosticators' thread. There are 40 or 50 opinions on each game, and only a few receive points for being correct or nearly correct. I only received points on that thread once this season. I was wrong many times, like over 30 times this season alone. I value all our fans nd their opinions. I value our team, how they play, and the satisfaction I get from watching them.

Geno stepped up the game planning. Game by game. No opponent had a chance ever.

Very well said, Sensei. I think I like TonyC's posts BECAUSE of his optimism. It helps to balance me if I get a bit pessimistic...
