Message: [QUOTE="YSRFrisbee, post: 3463371, member: 8862"] Personally, I hope UCONN faces and beats all the great teams (Oregon, SC, and Baylor) en route to a National Championship! :D Back in high school, our girls bb team was one of the best in the state. However, there was another great team (top 10 in the state) that was also in our district. We played them twice in the regular season (we won both) and barely edged them in the district championship. But because the state tourney is geographically based, we would likely meet them for a FOURTH time in the regional final. As a fan, I was hoping that wouldn't happen because winning 4 games against a great team in the same season is a VERY hard task (see ND vs UCONN circa 2013). However, when our team captain was interviewed after the regional semi, she said she wanted to play their rivals for a fourth time because they were THAT good. Her exact words were, "To be the best, you have to beat the best." They were going to earn that spot in the final four and prove to everyone why they deserved to be there :D I honestly think our team has the same mentality. Play with no fear. Play the best and beat them! Oh, and if you're wondering...our hs team won the regional final by 3 points (we secured a late rebound and hit 2 free throws to seal the game). Our girls went on to the final 4 and beat another powerhouse (featuring the future star Erlana Larkins) and won their first state championship in school history. ;) [/QUOTE]
