Message: [QUOTE="Ozimoto, post: 4801574, member: 6677"] This team as currently constituted is, in my opinion, unbalanced. As such, they are not currently a top ten team in my opinion. The front court is weak compared to the top five teams and the guards are not scoring enough to compensate (they have not shown that they are an above average shooting group). These deficiencies may be worked out over time, but you can't expect that rebounding or shooting percentages are magically going to improve against the top echelon teams. I will be delighted to be proven wrong, but I have to accept what my eyes and the box scores are telling me. Certainly injuries have contributed to the roster makeup that Geno can put on the floor. I think it is also important to understand that there are other teams out there with talented players too. There are teams that UConn will not match up well with and I think the beginning of the season has revealed the short comings that aren't going to go away before March. So, what to do? Take your lumps, regroup and with the Big East. Support the team. Celebrate the good and. Acknowledge and accept the not so good. Be encouraged by improvement. Get to the tournament, roll the dice, and see what happens. I've also noticed that with the exception of South Carolina, no teams are currently curb stomping everyone in their way. I believe a season of chaos is upon us and what the landscape of women's college basketball in March may look totally different than it does today (with the exception of South Carolina. If they stay healthy, no one is going to get in their way). [/QUOTE]
