Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2489902, member: 3535"] Then if we agree that there was only one tough game with UCONN and Nurse was solid, then why make it a big point to initially reply to me the one comment I made "Nurse playing well in big games?" You bring up "big games" yet ignore the games that were at least within 15 into the 3rd quarter? I don't understand why you would have focused on that one minor point I made but not the other points. Furthering that point, I don't understand why you would have included Stanford as a big game. They are right now 6-6 and the 1st qtr it was a 16 point lead, and the 2nd it was a 35 point lead. Anyways that is eithee here nor there. All the other points I made that UCONN has stronger schedule (for some reason you mentioning ND has the 2nd strongest. But who has the strongest?), UCONN is undefeated (ND is not), Nurse outplayed Og and Nurse shoots the ball better and passes the ball better - yet you focused on my single point of "big games?" So games that are somewhat close into 3rd qtr don't hold any more weight than Stanford get blown out int he 1st qtr and absolutely annihilated int he 2nd? You couldn't even use California instead of Stanford? You are picking a game in which UCONN is up ahead by 35 points at halftime for a team that is 6-6 and calling that "a big game?" Second point-- you tell me you say the Oklahoma Game in the 3rd qtr had more to do with Gabby/Collier. I don't agree at all. So if I feel I know I'm right and I know you are wrong (ofc this is my opinion but as I've mentioned sometimes we have strong opinions :):):) - in this case in my opinion I feel I'm absolutely right) - how can I convey that to you or others without appearing mad? I'm not mad. So I use CAPS sometimes. But I think I'm undoubtedly right. I'm wrong a lot. But in this case what if I feel I'm undoubtedly right? Third point - [B]I did mention Og. So I didn't leave ND "off."[/B] And the stats you are using to justify her-- that's great. [I][U]That's why I put her on the list[/U][/I]. :) As you put it with UCONN I sort of feel with ND-- "[B]What's interesting is that I could see a number of ND players not making an AA team this year because their numbers are more spread out (other than Og) across 4 players.[/B]" Og will make A/A - I have her on. And I wouldn't be surprised JShepard to jump ahead of other centers I have on the list.[B] But nowhere did I exclude Og. [/B]So I do agree with you they are both having very good seasons but it's Nurse right now in a landslide. [B][U]Nurse's numbers are historic for a sg [/U][/B]that is 2nd on the team in scoring for the number 1 team in the country in which Nurse outplayed Og head-to-head in which UCONN has had a tougher schedule. I don't see how head-to-head should be dismissed just because Og takes more shots (and misses) and doesn't pass as well (for a guard). IMO this is similar to the days on the old espn board when there were many discussions as to who was better Angel or Maya. Those that favored Angel were more hung up on one-on-one. Og is a better one-on-one player than Nurse. Nurse is far superior in shooting and is a better passer and was better this year head-to-head. That doesn't make them "even." Or that close to "even." Anyways Marry Christmas/Happy Holidays! [/QUOTE]
