The Man Knows the Game

[UConn990411]

I was at the 2009 FF, my point about that team still stands: if you think UConn had a better than 1 in 7 chance of beating that UNC team, you are out of your mind. I think with Dyson we'd hang around for a while, but they probably lose by 8-10.

That UNC team was a hurricane...and in a few months, it'll be erased from the books.

I wouldn't consider myself one of the bigger homers on here, but that's just absurd.

UNC would've been the favorite, but that UConn team with Dyson woulda had a chance. They absolutely obliterated Louisville on the road by 18 ... and the game wasn't even as close as the final score indicated (I think Earl Clark went something like 1-13, and peed his pants more times than he made a jumper that night). Oh, and that Louisville team earned the #1 seed and went to the Elite Eight.

Just look at the matchups:
Price-Lawson
Dyson-Ellington
Green-Robinson
Adrien-Hansbrough
Thabeet-Thompson

With guys like Kemba and Ed Davis coming off the bench.

Dyson's injury robbed us of a potentially classic NC game.

Carolina would have been deservedly favored but it would have been a winnable game.

With a healthy Dyson it would have been a hell of a matchup. One forgotten thing about Dyson was that he was an very good on-ball defender (something you seldom see in college hoops). Lawson made UNC's offense lethal with his quickness. Dyson may have been able to give him enough trouble where we could hang with them.

ok now i have to watch some footage from the 09 team - uconnhuskies.com - THANK YOU.

What games the homers recommend for the 2009 team? UL, UM, first SU game, 2nd SU game, A&M, Purdue, Mizzu ( I can't watch the MSU game). Please dont say all of them.

By the way I hope tonight is a 12 point classic UConn memory!!

Yes I was a dyson fan, but when his shot was off it was ugly UConn bb
