Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3464723, member: 1220"] The best-case scenario for UConn would be some good matchups and other teams knocking off the bad bad matchups in their Brackets. Remember what happened when Louisville knocked off Baylor. Teams can get hot and if they are a good matchup can knock off much better teams on any given night. Baylor, SC and Oregon are not good matchups for UConn, but they might not be for other teams that Uconn matches up well with. Hey! Louisville got lucky that Cal focused on guarding against Schimmel hitting three' and that left open the other player who killed them. Schimmel was a streak shooter and she had already cooled down when they faced Cal. They could have left her open and she probably would have shot Louisville right out of the game. Rather they focused their defense against a player who was going to be not much of a threat in that game. That was Schimmels history. When she is hot she will kill you, but when she is cold you just let her shoot and she kills her own team. The same sort of scenario can happen at any time. One where a team knocks off a favorite on a great day but then comes back down to earth the next week. Uconn could be in the same side of the Brackets with the top three and catch a break and some team knocks them off. None of those teams are unbeatable on any given night by the right team. It is just unlikely because of match up issues that Uconn could do it. [/QUOTE]
