UConn Will Beat ND

[HGN]

We will win it..........Someone on this Blog said that 'Diggins is our worse nightmare'. But the opposite may be true. We are Diggins and ND worse nightmare. If you asked ND and Diggins who would they rather face in the National Semi's , I don't believe UConn would be their 1st choice. They don't want no parts of UConn. Its very difficult to beat someone four(4) times in a season. Especially a Pride-filled and motivated UConn team. This game will be played like a Championship game. This is really the place to beat ND. This is the right time. Let the regular season losses go. Leave those losses behind us. Let the BE Conference Tournament loss go. That wasn't the Time.

NOW IS THE TIME !!

I don't think the regular season or the NCAA games have been tough to choose. Your predicitions of the ND games, however, have been very rough. Being positive is one thing failing establish reasonable balance is another. One has to believe but not to the point of gilding the lily.

Well Ice I guess I struck out the first 3 times. This is a new at bat.

Oh yeah, time to step up with the home run.

Consider the advice of the immortal W.C. Fields:

"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. . . . And if that doesn't work, Quit! No use being a damned fool!"​

Everyone talks about the x's and o's. I think this is all psychological. Both teams are evenly matched, it seems, from a physical standpoint. The difference in recent history is that ND believes they can win. If UConn can have the equivalent mindset, all else being equal, they win.

Agreed, and to add one more thing: we can talk all we want about our astounding improvement in the post-season. As in the other 3 games, it all comes down to crunch time. Do we have a Shoni-Shimmel Skylar-Diggins-Kayla McBride to finally put us over the top?

Kib Vince Lombardi said something that went kinda like this. If you see a good loser, youve just seen a loser. "Quit" and "I cant" are not in my vocabulary. Thomas Edison tried to discover electricity 9,999 times. On the 10,000th time he discovered electricity. I will never quit and I will never say I cant.

Dinner in Bridgeport...good mojo for whupping ND

Let me start by saying my wife and I had a blast in Bridgeport. The team played better than they have all year, and everyone at the Holiday Inn were nice as they could be. Tonyc got us great seats and it was a pleasure to meet all the BY 'ers.
Skyler Diggens IS going to get all the 50/50 calls. We also have got to be very careful about how deep we take the ball in the paint, because they are going to try and draw the charge. Also, ND's interior passing is fabulous. But I think we can tip a bunch of those bounce passes they were using against Duke. One poster was absolutely correct saying that ND believes 100% that they can and will beat us.
We must change it Sunday night. We need to just overwhelm them from the get go and not let up.
It is supposed to be all set up for Skyler to win it all. I say this too shall pass. We take it to them and are Nat Champions AGAIN !
GO UCONN GO !

I want an 8 point lead (at least!) with one minute left to mitigate vs. some Jesus factor.

What officials need to watch is Skylar swatting down the arms of defenders and her hooking players when she drives on them. On defense they need to call her for arm slap fouls when she goes back door.

Bingo.

To quote Steve Martin..."I'm feelin' it. You feelin' it? I'm feelin' it."


I want to see Diggins crying her eyes out bad. Then I can yell "That's right! That's right!"
