Message: [QUOTE="HuskyJohn, post: 2125763, member: 2332"] Oldude says: "If you're a reporter I guess you have to write about something, but quite frankly the other 3 teams in the FF have all been "offensively challenged" when facing tough defensive teams this season. One of the standard axioms about beating UConn is that, "You have to be able to score with UConn", which is why teams like Baylor, ND & MD appeared to be more formidable opponents for the Huskies. With those teams now watching the FF on TV, I would assess the chances of anyone other than UConn winning the championship as remote." He is right on track here although I would hesitate to use the word "remote" because all kinds of things like injuries, foul trouble, very cold shooting night, etc. that can happen as Geno well knows. Beyond that, Oldude is exactly right that reporters have to write about something. In addition, if you are an ESPN reporter, even our beloved Rebecca, you had better not convey a message to the audience which suggests, "Don't even bother tuning in, folks. This game has no way of being competitive." That is not the path to ensuring your job security. :) [/QUOTE]
