Which team do you think should be #2 in week 4 (Nov. 30)? (two choices)

Slogged is an appropriate word. I attended the game last night. Had Sessions and Cuevas not turned it up in the second half, it would have the sloggiest of games. The refs called way too many petty fouls. 42 fouls combined. No one really got into a flow. This should have been a blow out.

I think Baylor is playing better ball than both USC and Notre Dame at this point in the season.

I'd be lying if I didn't say our fans are concerned with our early season play, but I looked back at last season's box scores and we had many such games then, too. We play Duke at home on Sunday in what will be our 4th game against a currently ranked opponent, so they can't be too awful to still be undefeated.

I don't think anyone thinks they are awful, just that they don't necessarily look the part, but they didn't really look the part last year and still made it to the FF. The problem lies in their goal. If the goal is to win a NC this year it is gonna have to look a bit than what it looked last year to get it done and surprisingly with a more talented starting line up the output has been largely the same. I predicted after losing Welch, Ibiam, and Olivia that there would be a trade off in terms of focus. I thought there would be more offense and the defense would suffer. I don't think there has been more efficient offense and I'm sure Dawn isn't pleased with the amount of points being given up either. Losing two starters isn't easy that's for sure and some of the players may have taken what they did for granted.

They seemed to have a good time in Hawaii from the videos published; that good time did not translate to the basketball court, however.

YOU are a USC fan!! Let us Uconn fans make less of USC's close wins, your job is to cheer USC. A win is a WIN. 1 point loss is a loss.
Big difference between the two. Feburary is weeks off---and the game is in Columbia. I don't put UConn W's in the Win column until the game is played. Nor do I put in L's. The games in Hawaii, Paradise Jam are supposed to be FUN for the teams---don't knock it..

When I was watching the Nebraska vs UConn game I was thinking the UConn bench might qualify for a top 64 spot for the Big Dance.. But it is a little early.

First you'd have to "define" what is Uconn's BENCH! If Butler is part of that BENCH, Chong, Katie Lou , Collier, Ekmark, Lawlor too.
Top 64 ranking isn't out of the question. It depends a lot on how KLS, Collier, Butler, Ekmark are playing in April. It is a very good mental exercise however!!!l Please note---I think Chong and Lawlor are ready now both are playing as if they belong as first off the bench.

Of course my job is to cheer, but after attending close to 1000 MBB and WBB games I think I also know at least a little bit about the sport, too.

The bad news for Baylor is that Alexis Prince is our 8-12 weeks due to a knee injury. Wallace is filling nicely, which makes the injury a little less impactful. And Alexis Jones is starting to find her groove.

With the news about Turner I have to eliminated them as a contender for the number 2 spot. Tennessee is out and SC doesn't seem to be playing too well yet

By the process of elimination, I choose Baylor. But that's where I've had them all year.

You no doubt know WBB---and probably men's BB. I've seen maybe 5 or 7 times as many games for many college teams, and HS, and Cyo--I don't pretend to know as much as you do.
But Mom always told me not to hang family dirty laundry for all to see. Which means if you don't have good things to say about your family or your team--only say it to FAMILY or those on your TEAM's board.
Most top teams have enough dislikers no need to add to that. Only the Coach, players or the Admin of the college has the ability to change what is happening with a team--as loud as some fans may yell--they are Whizzing in the breeze. \
So if you want to Witch (with a B) about USC go ahead I'll be very big in damning any thing they do--. But remember these are kids--18 to 22, not robots or clones, with feelings.

Thanks mom, I really needed to be told what to do.

Thanks mom, I really needed to be told what to do.

You are welcome---I'm damn happy you aren't a Uconn fan.
