Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 4090165, member: 7548"] Well, I guess we should stop the Creme bashing this year (or almost) [B]Creme:[/B] Remember back in 2013 when UConn and Notre Dame met four times? The Irish won the first three meetings, but in the biggest one of all -- the national semifinals -- the Huskies prevailed on their way to the first national championship in the Breanna Stewart era. Something similar is going to happen this year. UConn and South Carolina, the consensus top two teams in most preseason rankings, will play three times. They will meet in the finals of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas just before Thanksgiving, and again in their scheduled matchup on Jan. 27 in Columbia. [S]The Gamecocks will win both of those games.[/S] Then on April 3 in Minneapolis, unbeaten South Carolina and two-loss UConn will play for the national title. Much like they did to Notre Dame nine years earlier, the Huskies exact their revenge at exactly the right moment and capture their 12th championship. [/QUOTE]
