[QUOTE="oldude, post: 3828912, member: 7511"] You point back to 2014. That was an entirely different group of players than the team that just lost to Arkansas, playing their 2nd game of the season on the road against a very good Stanford team. That UConn team only lost that one game, went on to win the National Championship and didn’t lose again the entire season thereafter and the year after that the Huskies didn’t lose until the National semifinal. In the process UConn set the all time consecutive winning record for WBB. As for practice, it doesn’t matter if UConn practices against the Seattle Storm, there is something different about doing it during the pressure of a real game, and through the years, UConn has had precious few games that game down to the last possession, precisely because they executed their offense & defense down the stretch. During the 2016-17 season there were at least 3 regular season games that were back and forth that could have gone either way: Baylor, ND & SC. In all 3 games, UConn’s 4th qtr execution at both ends of the court was exceptional, so they never came down to a last possession. This year’s team may not have executed down the stretch vs Arkansas, but how about looking at the TN game. In the last minute of a one possession game, UConn used the entire shot clock passing the ball around the perimeter against TN’s zone until E fired a pass to an open Paige to knock down the 3 that put the game out of reach. Most teams come up short during end of game situations when they are behind. UConn has had so few of them, that we as fans tend to overemphasize their significance. Consider, if you will, that the game you are focused on took place over 6 years ago. [/QUOTE]
