[QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4006321, member: 5798"] I've NEVER re-watched a game that UConn lost. I don't need to experience that anguish and frustration again. Once was enough. With [URL='https://uconnhuskies.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/2020-21']7 freshmen and 2 sophomores[/URL], they were a young team last year. We mentioned it in our comments several times throughout the season. The "UConn" across the front of their jerseys will intimidate some teams, some it won't. They didn't scare or intimidate Arkansas or Arizona. Both of these teams had enough upperclassmen so as not to be intimidated. Arizona had 3 seniors and a red shirt junior. Arkansas had 3 seniors, a red-shirt senior, and 2 red-shirt juniors. This UConn team will field 2 seniors (ONO & Williams), a red-shirt senior (Westbrook) and a graduate senior ([URL='https://uconnhuskies.com/sports/womens-basketball/roster/dorka-juh-sz/11764'][COLOR=rgb(40, 50, 78)]Juhász[/COLOR][/URL]). UConn has seniors and several other players that are ready willing and able to take on a leadership role. They have a "bad taste" in their mouths and a chip on their shoulder this year. Collectively the team is angry about how Arizona crushed their dreams and goal of winning the national championship last year. Let's see if that anger and resolve carries over to the coming season. The seniors all say THEY know what happened, and have vowed not to let it happen again. Can they get their younger teammates to realize and understand their point of view, and the sense of urgency they need to play with all season? THAT'S the challenge. I love Christyn's attitude and mindset going into this season. [I]“I’m trying to kill everybody on the court,” [/I]Williams said, who averaged 16.9 points in her final 10 games of last season. [I]“That’s it. I know I’m like, Ha ha, hee hee[/I]; [I]but, I’ve got to kick some ass if we’re being completely honest here." :mad: [/I]Personally, I like that kind of talk coming from ANY UConn player. As Geno said recently in regards to Paige wanting to let the game come to her: "Don't wait." Paraphrasing: While you're waiting for the game to come to you, somebody on the other team is taking it.....to us. :confused: UConn's preseason schedule should tell us right away in the first 8-9 games what kind of team we have this year. Top ranked teams Notre Dame, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Oregon, and Louisville will be on the schedule in November and December. The South Carolina game (and one other OOC game) is usually scheduled for January/February. The UConn women will also play in the [URL='https://www.atlantisbahamas.com/b4a/wb4a']Battle 4 Atlantis[/URL] on Paradise Island in Nassau, Bahamas the week of Thanksgiving. Other teams in that tournament are: Buffalo, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Florida, and Syracuse. Since UConn is already contractually obligated to play Oregon and South Carolina this season, they won't be scheduled to play them in this tournament. We should know by the Christmas break (a 7-8 game sample) EXACTLY what kind of team this team is. ESPN's Charlie Creme has UConn the #1 team in his "[URL='https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/31184173/women-college-basketball-way-too-early-top-25-uconn-reigns-south-carolina-looms']Way too early top 25[/URL]" WCBB teams for the coming season. This may be the best team Geno has had since Stewart and Co. graduated in 2016. :) South Carolina is ranked #2, Stanford #3, Baylor #4* and Maryland #5. *This article was written on April 4, 2021, three weeks before Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey announced she was leaving Baylor for LSU (and taking 2 players - Ursin & Gusters with her) on April 25.
