Uconn not peaking yet

[HuskiesU]

My MVP of this team will easily be Morgan Tuck because she brings a low post game that eventually teams are going to start to look and double her. That's when KML Mojeff and Nurse will have wide open 3s. Morgan is better than advertised for the fact we knew she was good and seen glimpse of it but not being so dominant and a big time scorer. This team is just has good as last year team. I see people on BY talking bout there team defense but we still lead the country at opp. Fg % opp. scoring block shots and margin of victory but also on off we rank 2nd in scoring

There have not been that games this season since the Stanford game yet to give you that 99% argument..You are thinking that all the 5 starters should be in the first-team AA.

I see what he or she is saying. If I'm not right cohenzone I apologize. But I think the point is-

To start a game pick a team at their respective positions have two players better in the top 6. Of course the game is decided on the court. Lousiville beat Baylor. But his or her point was you may find very,very,very.very, very, very few teams (1%) that have two players comparing position vs position in the top 6 that are better than UCONN's top 6.

I'm with you on this one,..mostly. Actually there haven't been enough games this whole season to reach the 99%. That would leave 1%. 5 starters (just using starters) for 20 games would make 100. So there would be 1 player better than a UConn starter in those 20 games. However, we haven't even played 20 games yet. AND you have Loyd, USF's Williams, Duke's Williams just to name 3 quickly off the top of my head who would probably be considered better than at least 1 of our starters.

Statistics can be a b!tch to use.

Actually you were kind to the original post. Let me quote,'UConn is better at every position than 99% of the opponents every game.' So we are talking about 100 games, not 20 games..wink wink

Not necessarily. You could also translate it as individuals on the team, i.e. the PARTS not the SUM. And if you expanded the group of compared players to include the 6th man reserve, that would get you to 102. That still only comes to one player better than a Husky at any of the six positions, which would certainly rile up the fans of other teams, but no one ever said that wearing heavily tinted blue glasses was a crime. Wouldn't go there myself, but there are some very optimistic fans on the BY.

Actually I think UCONN is a long way from Peking, except maybe Saniya.

When UConn is peaking, the other teams had better duck.

Sorry, but that made me think of this.

The way I read that it's 99% of opponents, not 99% of games. I was counting at least 5 opponents per game, hence 20 games. If you go deeper into the bench, then it would be less games.

What? You prevaricate on the "at least." You might eliminate Kiah from the discussion? The player that makes the opponents' knees all wobbly when they think about playing UConn?

You are hereby demoted to meyers-at-least-5.

If and when Tony applies for a job as a secretary or English professor, then his spelling can rightly be examined. Until then, stop peeking on him, y'all!!! Tony is an analyst and prognosticator without peer. Correct spelling is for us lesser folks.

5 players per team is easier math to prove the point. That was all I was going for. You could get to less games, but it would put you further off the 99%.
