Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 5265409, member: 3834"] What a joke ESPN is! We just beat the living daylights out of SC, [B]twice[/B] and they think they (SC) should be ranked over us. I guarantee if the entire situation were exactly reversed they would never bump us up over the “defending champion Gamecocks” . They’re like the person who walks around with toilet paper stuck in their shoe. Everyone can see it but them. Also, why would UCLA have been ranked over us either? We smoked them too! Yes, we are losing Paige. That’s a big loss, but anyone who thinks UConn is not fully capable of repeating next year is simply out of touch. SC lost what many were saying was their best player in Fulwiley, while UCLA lost a whole group of players! Sure, SC picked up Latson but I have serious doubts we‘re gonna see her putting up 23 ppg on a Dawn Staley led team. As for UCLA, good luck winning with two bigs and Kiki Rice! Rant over! I guess we’ll just have to show them (once again) that a healthy UConn is waaay different from the UConn teams that struggled to field a full team for that 3 1/2 year stretch. UConn, Defending National Champions! That sounds pretty good!:) [/QUOTE]
