Yep and they won all of them include a 25 point win vs Maryland. They may not be “unbeatable” but they are “ unbeaten.”
I think the OP means an emotional low.
Great points. I am sure the injuries are taking a toll on the team, and they are feeling some way. But these are some competitive players. They will rise to the challenge Sunday and who knows what could happen. South Carolina looks unstoppable. But people were saying the same thing last year and on any given day, any team can be beat. Missouri proved that last year. Sure, it takes a hot shooting night and hopefully South Carolina is having a massive off night, but things can happen.
Comparing scores means nothing ….different nights ….different match ups….The lady Vols played Stanford close but we had our way with them….
me too….not sure about the score but I feel we are going to win
My sentiments exactly. Upsets do happen and this team is capable.
I just looked at the math between last year and this year, more than double games missed this year vs. last year.
5 games in 12 days and playing a big, physical, very good team is an overwhelming task. My biggest reason for agreeing with you is that we are so tired, so worn down, so battered , that we are a different team then even against Tennessee. Bad scheduling of these OOC games going back to ND and Maryland. I've been talking about it all year.You are a realist. Your comments are not out of line. Anyone that has followed this team since the beginning of the season has witnessed the decline of this team, as it is happening right before our eyes. All you can do is expect our girls to do the best they can. I was not going to predict doom and gloom for the SC game, but like you, I'm going to keep it real.
We all saw the game tonight. The team ship was listing and leaking oil all night. THAT was an ugly win. I just want to get this game behind us and move on without suffering any more injuries. An injury to any of our players at this point in the season would be devastating. It will be interesting to see if any of our fans criticize the play of our girls in spite of their obvious disadvantages going in to this game. Geno has said on several occasions that this team is tired physically and mentally.
There will be no Calvary Unit coming over the hill at the last minute to the rescue. Paige and Ice will not be suiting up at the end of the season. We may not see Azzi either. They may decide to shut her down the rest of the season. We might see Caroline, but how effective will she be?
I won't be making my usual prognostication submission for this game because I don't like to predict a defeat for the Huskies. I don't see any way UConn can win this game. I hope I'm wrong. "UConn is not in a good place right now" ~ Geno Auriemma. We're getting it directly from the head coach. To me, it will be a win-win if they come out, compete, and finish the game with no new or reaggravated injuries. Keep hope alive.
You likely have the score about right, one way or the other
Last night during the post-game interview, Geno said “everybody’s got something”, referring to his player’s injuries. Fans can turn and twist this team's current situation like Rubik's Cube, but it is what it is. Wishing and hoping are not going to change anything. Just one fan's opinion, but this does not appear to be our year. Too many injuries. UConn has not been at full strength at any time this season. When you (as a coach) are concerned every game about having at least 7 of your players dress so that you can play, that's a clear and unmistakable sign that you have issues. “I’m not surprised that as the games (on this stretch) have gone on, it’s gotten increasingly more difficult to stay up and to be mentally sharp," Geno Auriemma said. "Right now, mentally we’re not all on the same page." South Carolina comes in riding a 27-game win streak (going back to last year). They're big, healthy, and have a 14-player roster that Dawn uses liberally.
Yes, Stanford proved that, but the Cardinal peed in the bed twice. Once in regulation and again in overtime. Stanford clearly should have won that game but didn't.
Without question, the bed is far more vivid than the cage.Last night during the post-game interview, Geno said “everybody’s got something”, referring to his player’s injuries.

If my calculations are correct, Geno should have a 15-player roster next year IF Aubrey Griffin comes back. We currently have 13 players with the addition of Jana El Alfy. We lose 2 5th year players (Lou and Dorka), but we gain 4 incoming freshmen. 11+4 =15. We'll have to wait and see what Aubrey is going to do. Her HS class graduates college in May. This is her 4th year at UConn. She is eligible to enter the WNBA draft in April. My calculations of a15 player roster includes Aubrey coming back next year.

I don't know who is going to win, but I don't see a blowout either way. IF someone gets to 70, that would be a surprise too.
Still think we are at a LOW?
