Beating ND at ND last nite was huge. Alot of great posts and threads. I received alot of phone calls last nite and a big question will UConn go undefeated? They do have the team to do it and if they do what will happen over the next 5 seasons as we get better? Hey we still have @KState and @MD to end this year. Both huge games.
What I saw last nite was discipline, poise and relentless defense that never let up. Both in the Depaul game and the ND game both teams seemed flustered and out of sync. They couldnt get it going for a long time and when they did UConn turned it up a knoch. I saw the frustration in Muffets post game interview. Both Muffet and her players were disappointed and frustrated. They were shell shocked. Ogunbowale tried to take over one on one and that didnt work very well. When you play defense like UConn plays you cant seem to get anything going and then revert back to playing to quick and desperate. When you look at our first game against FL State and look at this team now there is a huge difference. We are playing as a unit and our execution is getting better each game.
So Sunday this UConn machine plays KState. KState beat Auburn ranked 23 by 5. KState hasnt really played any other tuff competition yet but they do have a 6'5 post player who is shooting over 60%. It will be interesting to see how UConn handles her . Im looking for a double diget win Sunday. It will be a tuff game as I expect KState to slow the game down to keep the score in the 50's-60's. At some point UConns defense will take over and when that happens I expect UConn to run away. So the streak continues and the schedule is brutal for the rest of December. What this team has already accomplished on paper and in the news has placed doubt in opponents minds. So the streak continues......
