Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4209836, member: 3834"] I think the reality (as usual) is somewhere in the middle between Tony and Eric. I think if all goes well we definitely have the potential/ability to reach the FF. However, they’re going to have to integrate Paige back in and clean up some of the negative play such as slow starts, lethargic stretches, not blocking out, rebounding, ball movement, poor quarters, etc. One thing I would say is that I don’t really look at the Georgia Tech, Oregon, and Villanova losses as negatively as some on this board. Each of those games were preceded by the sudden loss of player/s without time for the team to adjust. Sure, they’re losses but imo should not be used as part of an evaluative look at our team. I certainly don’t think we are any kind of favorite to reach or win the Final Four but assuming we are healthy and whole, with some time to gel, I’d have to say we have as good a chance (maybe slightly better) as anyone not named SC or Stanford and I’ll take my chances with either of those teams in a one game scenario!
