UConn vs ND in the second game on Friday night

The moon landing by the US was likely staged. There are evidence based theories on that. The Russians were there and the aliens who live on the dark side of the moon told them to get out.

First off, I'm not the OP, but I get your drift, that was my initial reaction. But let me say this, I'm not averse to conspiracy theories, yet I do believe the US landed on the moon. The two are not mutually exclusive. Conspiracies do exist, there's a whole body of law that deals with conspiracies and police have to determine if a crime was a conspiracy (whether there were accomplices or not). Just sayin' :cool:

What about the Chinese who recently landed on the dark side of the moon? Were they chase away as well? Inquiring mind wants to know.

And that's a not accurate statement, too. This is her 5th year, no different than if she red shirted her freshman year

And does Jess having points at another school not make her an offensive threat and part of a dynamic offense this year? She actually was fairly average at Nebraska and wasn't such a threat until MM started coaching her.
 
Just curious if anyone knows how many late semi final games UCONN has won as opposed to the earlier semi final games? I think Geno would much rather prefer they play the earlier games based on comments he's made in the past. I think this game is a toss up and I am hoping they will be able to withstand Notre Dame's runs. If it goes down to the wire, hopefully we'll have luck on our side.

This game will not go down to the wire. The team that wins will win easily by double digits.

Hyperbole is a lost art. But there is no way they’d approve a Jess Shepherd caliber of player for UConn next year — because it’s UConn.

It’s a hard knock life for the hyperbolic.

They did not land a manned spacecraft. We really don't know what happened, if anything. I am not sure if their moon landing was real. Can you really believe what they say?

I just don't see any of these final four games going down to the wire. Especially, any game Uconn plays. They will either win convincingly or lose convincingly. 3 straight final four games going down to the wire? Nope!

Its weird to think that.... But I completely agree. At least for the ND UConn game. I think that both teams can blow the other out. I think one team will have an A game and the other will have a B game. I hope it's close, as the would be good for the sport... But I feel like it's gonna at least be a double digits win for one team.

I actually am picking Oregon to beat Baylor. I like Oregon's offense. Sabrina is a star! That game will be close I think, no blowouts. Sabally needs to have a huge game, and so does Boley. If Richards guards Sabrina, Corzola and Boley have to step up. Richards is a lockdown defender, whoever she isn't guarding should attack. That was the game plan last year for ND. Crystal and Kia guarded AO and Mabrey, while Williams was checking Shepard. Young was simply attacking KLS (bad ankle) in the first quarter and set the stage for the rest of the game.

Yeah, like I said earlier, UConn will have quite the time defending ND. They are really just going to have to outshoot them. That's the only way they win this game.

or get O'wale frustrated... when she's off they're all off

Not always the case. There’s been games where Arike is off JY takes over and Arike kind of gets back in a groove. Plus I’d say the play of Arike doesn’t affect how Jess and Bri play. But yeah it can hurt when Arike isn’t hitting shots.

please please please can ESPN keep the Muffet vs Geno storylines to the barest of minimums , if at all.

Not when Muffet opens her mouth, and out comes a blatenly sexist remark. Of course ESPN is going to stoke up the fire. What better way for them to drum up interest in the final four. I mean, let's forget that we've got 4 stellar programs, great players, and it's a national championship weekend. NOOOOOO,
let's stoke the fires of sexism, by making a stupid remark. Nope sorry, ESPN isn't to blame for this.....it's Muffet and her mouth is to blame.
 
For those who like this stuff, Lobo will be on the Golic and Wingo show at 8:30 and the Golics will plunge in and have a wager TBD. The Golics had always bet Lobo and lost until last year when he said no more (bad Karma ?) and ND won so he is risking the Karma Gods by betting again although I suppose ND being the favorite may have impacted their decision.

I’d rather He not bet. Gonna be putting out bad juju

Too late. The bet has generally been agreed to

UConn wins, Golics must wear an apron with the UConn symbols and act like like a 'subservient' women / wife in bringing food to the cast etc. In honor of the coach gender discussion raging on. (Lobo's suggestion and a bit silly imho. Where is the pain and embarrassment?)

ND Wins, Lobo needs to dress up as the biggest Leprechaun

MM never hiring a male coach was also brought up and Lobo was generally in agreement that the underlying thought behind it is good but if you have such an absolute standard, then she never would have experienced the time under Geno, the most dynamic and iconic coach that completely changed her life etc. etc. and slow changes in women entering on the male side are starting.

Maybe MM should take the TN job and give one of her assistant's the ND job so Fulmer does not get a male coach. :rolleyes:
