Message: [QUOTE="PacoSwede, post: 4902881, member: 120"] It would be exquisite if the BY could be celebrating NC #12 this April. What an incredible hoot, considering the persistent negativity here and in the media. All those projecting a failure for the Storrs crew definitely have good reason for their comments. I understand. The odds [I]are[/I] against them and I agree a NC is unlikely. That's why it would be sooooo delicious if they pull it off. It's why the game is played. I'm gonna enjoy watching this Uconn team's attempt. Good luck to them. But I won't be crushed if they fall short because, indeed, fate is clearly against them. With only three experienced starters and a very short, undependable bench, they can't afford to lose anybody to foul trouble, injury or sickness. They can't have anyone to simply have a bad game. Plainly, the BB god would have to shower them with good luck to overcome this deficiency. But it could happen. Combine that with the Huskies playing their best defense, avoiding being felled by fatigue and shooting up to their capabilities and a win is almost assured. I look forward to a joyful April. It's unlikely, I know. Still, being optimistic costs nothing. I'm sure other programs, with lesser potential, are optimistic as they look ahead to the postseason. It would be wonderful to shock the basketall world. Yeehaw! [/QUOTE]
