Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 4311656, member: 5823"] I will take this up with Geno the next time I speak with him-I'm sure he could use a good laugh. In the mean time please dispense with the twisted logic and examine the full quote. [I]"I've said this all along: You have to be really good, and you have to be a little bit lucky to win the national championship," Auriemma said. "[B]First things first, though[/B], you have to be really good. You have to be really well-balanced and you have to be all the things that South Carolina is. You have to have good guard play. Your big guys have to be able to dominate either at one end or the other. Then you need a little bit of luck. [/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/33667301/geno-auriemma-says-uconn-was-always-going-need-little-bit-luck-beat-no-1-south-carolina-ncaa-final[/URL] If you honestly evaluate the quote what you will conclude is that Geno said luck is a "little" factor and he mentioned it AFTER all the other major factors.[I] [/I][USER=73]@Tonyc[/USER] started this thread asking a very good question. So let me try an answer it by using Geno's criteria . [LIST=1] [*]UCONN will be really good next year [*]UCONN needs to be better balanced next year ( inside & outside aka Perimeter and Post) [*]UCONN will have outstanding guard play next year as long as Paige has a pulse [*]UCONN bigs IMO are not capable of dominating SC at either end of the floor [/LIST] The second and 4th items are extremely tall orders and without them luck will not matter.
