Message: [QUOTE="veryolddog, post: 3032177, member: 129"] I think that a match up with South Carolina in any year is a good thing win or lose. That type of competition anytime during the season is what UConn needs to hone its skills and no what it is like to compete against vibrant teams. As a poster said above : "Losing to Connecticut would say little about how good or bad South Carolina is compared to the rest of college basketball, and nothing can take away the conference success Staley has had over the past half-decade. But as long as UConn remains the standard of excellence in women’s basketball, all great teams and their fans will dream of beating the Huskies." " The key to this paragraph is that UConn has established a standard of excellence in Women's basketball, that all competing teams aspire to. They want what to do what UConn accomplished and probably very few will replicate. This will last forever no matter if UConn slides into mediocrity in the years to come. They will be the standard. And, people in sports entertainment will talk about this for a long time. [/QUOTE]
