Undefeated teams, part 2 (merged)

[Charliebball]

I'm taking nothing for granted regarding an undefeated regular season until after the Tennessee game is concluded.........

Funny how important this is to so many people

Vandy crunched by S. Carolina today, 103-74. Their defense, especially, was exposed.

UConn now stands alone, like the former Colossus of Rhodes.

You do realize that in 226 BC, the Colossus of Rhodes snapped off at the knees during an earthquake…..

SC played well, Vandy not so. Agree, Vandy was exposed. Love our Shea, but the word" overrated" might ring true.

 

[Conndog]

I want to see the updated map

Haha, I do. But it remained standing for 54 years, a record even Geno can't catch. And that's more than long enough for my seismometer.

"There can only be one" as the movie quote goes, no room for more. Another quote "last man standing" . Uconn has filled it's destiny. Now on to Uconn's final destiny. Every one is worried about Tennessee and it's height.I reply it will be Uconn's defense and our own height that will win the game. Uconn is a more cohesive unit working together to disrupt Tennessee's game and cause disunity between them and thus , Uconn wins. HAVE FAITH! After Tennessee Uconn will have 10 games to play and will arrive at the NCAA N.C. undefeated. That's when 6 teams find out that Uconn is NO 1 and the reason why. GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!

When your best players are sophomore and freshman, you don’t have much experience in the big games. On top of that, you don’t have solid bigs in the paint to protect the rim. To me, Vandy is couple years away and a few big game losses, provided those two players stay put and couple solid supporting players added, from really competing with SC, Texas, etc.; and I’m not talking about March/April tournaments.

Talking of coincidences, UConn and Vanderbilt both beat Michigan by 3 this year.

SCar beat Vandy by 29 points, the same margin that UConn beat SCar last year in the regular season.

Not implying anything, just noting that History often rhymes!

Oh, ok: then just change the simile to the Titanic, the biggest, greatest & most unsinkable ship ever built!

SC with a 62/59/93 shooting stat line…remarkable against a ranked team. Blake’s was 9-24 and Vandy had 20 TO’s. Tough day at the office.

After losing to OK, I suspect that Dawn got the team’s undivided attention in practice this week. The Gamecocks played with serious purpose against Vandy.

Vandy ran in to a SC team playing their A+ game - they shot 59% on three pointers (10-17) when their yearly percentage is 36% - they also hit 93% on their FTs, (13-14) up from a yearly rate of 69%. SC was on fire!

Actually they will have most likely 11 games remaining, 8 regular season and 3 Big East Conference Tournament games.

I know, right? Winning games is so overrated. The important thing is everyone had fun.

@HuskyNan It's a shame they're such introverts!

You can win a title without being undefeated not the most important thung to the season

You can win a title without being undefeated not the most important thung to the season

BUT, if you go the season undefeated, you'll win a NC. So yeah, if can be pretty important.
