Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5196079, member: 10435"] One thing that is very different this year is the high quality of several other teams (thanks to the portal and NIL) including UCLA, USC, ND, SC, LSU and Texas at the least. You are also right about one thing about this team and it is that the team's identity is not consistent. It seems at this time that this team has less of a Paige stamp on it than in prior years. Geno has only missed one Final Four (without Paige) in a long time so the odds favor him. They just have to play like they are going to win, not be tight, and just let it go. At this point, they have nothing to lose by playing to win. No one expects an upset. It just might be that this team is not good enough to beat the other teams. I don't believe that. I think they all have to play the way they are capable of at the same time, that's all. [/QUOTE]
