Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4484845, member: 5798"] Java, you beat me to the punch....................again. I was going to post this to remind everyone and illustrate how easy it is to lose to an "unranked" team, especially when you're short-handed. #20 Maryland and #7 Notre Dame caught us at precisely the right time. They didn't celebrate their victory any less vigorously because we had several starters out. At least our losses were to ranked teams. The Boneyard would explode if UConn would lose to an unranked team. As bright as things looked prior to August 1 (the day Paige went down), there were few if any posters (as I recall) suggesting that this team would run the table this season. I looked at the box scores for each of those games. Can't tell if more players were available than were used. In contrast to the fate other top 10 programs are suffering, UConn is doing quite well. It's not perfect at times, but the bottom line is UConn continues to win games they are supposed to. The sun is coming out and appears the worst is behind us. If the injury bug will pack up and move on, we'll be in good shape the rest of the way. Keep hope alive. :cool: [/QUOTE]
