Message: [QUOTE="Bronx23, post: 2523923, member: 8501"] A lot of the points stated on both sides of this argument are correct. My opinion is this years team is and will be better for primarily four reasons. 1) CD is significantly better than Saniya because she is a true point guard, whose improvement this year is substantial. 2) This year we have a big in AZ and one that actually impacts the game. For right now it is mostly on the offensive side. At times she seems to me to be the best player on this extremely talented team. 3) KLS has improved a good deal in three areas: defense, rebounding and leadership. 4) And maybe most importantly this years team experienced last years loss to MS in the semifinal. It's true they haven't seemed clearly the very best team by far going into the Final Four. They can and will use that loss as a reminder and focus on what can happen. I also think last year in that loss no one was able or ready to take hold and control. This year I think that KLS and maybe AZ can and would do so. Yes this team is not as consistent throughout a game like last years team which was a well oiled machine. Yes, both Williams and Collins have not been as consistently as good as they were. But high show signs of improvement recently and much of this is their adjusting to new roles. Louisville will be a big test but I believe we will win by at least 15-20 points. Actually a closer game and even a loss might be more beneficial. I believe MS presents the greatest challenge but I believe U Conn will take their game in the final four semi-final or championship to another level. I saw McGowan recently for a short period and was not impressed with especially her defense. Hang in there all, this is and will be a special season. Bronx23 [/QUOTE]
