Message: [QUOTE="geneticrex, post: 2273708, member: 5102"] You seem to forget that UCONN lost EDD, Walker and McCormick to transfer in that time frame. That left UCONN short in the frontcourt, especially in Maya's senior year. That is exactly when ND's little run of miracles went down. When players leave a college team, you don't just lose that player, you lose the player(s) that would have signed had the player that transfered not signed and unlike a pro team, you can't simply fill the void with a trade. Had those transfers not gone down, UCONN would have done to ND what they routinely did to ND (and routinely do again) and nobody would have thought the Floppers were such a juggernaut. ND gained their limited fame adainst UCONN in that stretch thanks to the transfer of an all-timer and 2 other solid frontcourt performers along with their ability to con referees. Were they good??? Yeah, they were good. Were they great??? Not in my opinion. Great teams win championships. As tremendous as Stewie is, no way does she win 4 straight if her freshman team lost not 1, but 2 All-Americans to career ending injuries and she was surrounded by the same talent level Taurasi was in her final 2 years. Obviously, everyone has their own opinion and that's exactly what they are, opinions. You have yours and I have mine. You put stock in Muffet's opinion. I'll put stock in Geno's, since as we've heard numerous times.......DT is the greatest player he's ever coached. [/QUOTE]
