Yes, if UCONN wins the first round, then Syracuse is the potential second round matchup. And it is indeed scary to think that they beat ND twice, while UConn lost to them (ND) in the game played in Storrs. However, had Nika not been in foul trouble, I believe the Huskies would've won that game. At one point they were up by 12 points, and while Notre Dame's point guard, Hidalgo, played well in the first half, she whipped the Huskies' butt when Nika fouled out. During one timeout, I vividly remember reading Niele Ivey's lips when she told her team to "Stay on 5......." So with Nika out of the game, and "5" (Paige) being bodied up, Hidalgo was free to do her thing. It was beautiful to see, but I didn't want that show against my favorite team.
Anyway, "experience teaches wisdom", so I will continue to have faith in this group of Huskies. Go UConn!! Go Huskies!!
