Message: [QUOTE="southofnorth, post: 3483825, member: 9132"] The only years I might say they "underperformed" were 2007-08 (FF) and 2010-11 (FF). Mainly because they were largely considered the favorite (though not infallible) teams to win it all those years, but got tripped up by an opponent they beat earlier in the year (Stanford 2008 and Notre Dame 2011). However, I'd argue that even though both of these teams had plenty of future WNBA draft picks, in both cases the teams' future WNBA players had not fully realized their talents (especially in 2011 when Hartley and Dolson were freshman, Faris was a sophomore, and Hayes was a junior). On the other hand, take a look back at the Ohio State game from the 2010-11 season and it was obvious how good Dolson was going to become. [/QUOTE]
