UConn-South Carolina postgame thread

Both your post and the one you are replying to are true. I have been a big fan of Patterson but right now, despite the positives you point out well, she is not ready for a game at this level except for emergency. A month from now she could be; she's close (but that was true 5-6 weeks ago).

Aaliyah had foul trouble. It was (kind of) an emergency

So for those who dislike the truth, Edwards getting only 2 defensive boards had no affect on the game? Why is objective truth such an anathema to some? I thought this was a discussion board, I could care less about the “dislike” reactions, that is childish IMO without some type of counter argument or opinion, because frankly, I thought it was a huge factor in the loss; as I think her points were huge in keeping Uconn in the game. In my mind both are very true. Some of you seem so used to Uconn only winning, all objectivity is lost, and blaming refs is the only point worth attributing to any and all close games and losses.

It’s not that you’re making your point. It’s that a huge chunk of UConn fans that had been expecting the Huskies to be blown out were delighted and proud to see their team stand toe to toe with the defending national champions for the entire 40 minutes. The fans were reveling in how well the team played.

And then the people that feel the need to pick apart every facet of every game come along to tell us how bad someone was or point out all the errors or let us know where someone failed to live up to that fan’s expectations. All of the air suddenly goes out of the room and we’re unable to like the way our team played without being told how unrealistic we are

The people that complain they “can’t “ criticize are the ones that “won’t” let those of us who were enjoying our team have even a sliver of satisfaction.
