re: UConns women's basketball team sure won today

Bump

Believe it or not there are quite a few teams who have that talent and are talented enough to beat uconn

But from a coaching stand point, its not even close.

I keep asking, but no one answers: What coaching innovation has Geno come up with? What offensive or defensive system has he invented? What does he do different from anyone else?

I would say he does a phenomenal job at pulling the best out of his players and creating a special chemistry. They play as a team, many other top teams have a lot more play like a rec league team with just one on one. Team always plays hard and is well prepared, effort is never an issue any night. As fundamentally sound as a team can be in basketball


But his teams literally are like high functioning robots, not much more you can say. Seldom do they have any off nights. Its not like its some special offense or defense that wins but they execute better in almost every aspect every night. Considering the amount of games they play too its much more impressive.

I think Notre Dame is a phenomenal team and Muffet is an amazing coach. They definitely are as talented as UCONN. They almost beat uconn this year. Difference was UCONN executed and made plays when it counted. Its just been this way for years. UCONN will sometimes stumble and play teams to the wire but will make plays when it counts. Considering the teams they play OOC every year, it makes it pretty impressive. They will schedule anyone and play anytime anywhere


IMO I am not sure UCONN would have that major win streak if they played in the ACC over the past few years. Not that they couldn't it would be a little more difficult obviously. Still I don't think the end results of playing and winning national titles would differ. But the UCONN program of the last 5 years are a little different from years past, even ones that won national titles. Just the level of consistency is at another level.

I think Womens Basketball has a set core of teams with excellent talent, then there is a substantial drop off.

UCONN
Baylor
Lousiville
Notre Dame
MSU
Maryland
Texas

All of those teams have rosters stacked with 5* players and elite talented scattered on rosters. I don't really agree with the aspect of UCONN's players are way better than everyone elses. I think they definitely are some of the best out there but other teams have incredible talents. What they do with that talent and how they mold it is a little different.

I just hope we keep it within single digits tomorrow night. I do feel better about this game with UConn than I gave any other of our past games with them

Yall need Durr and hines allen to both shoot like bats out of hell for it to happen. When I say that, they both need to provide at least 50-60 points between the two of them to have a chance.

I don't see Lousiville winnin tomorrow but if yall shoot well and frustrate UCONN early it definitely can happen. Plus what happens if UCONN somehow is cold for most the night and yall are hot? Stuff like that does happen.


And it definitely doesn't help that its at UCONN. What works in yalls favor is UCONN is pretty beat up. They have three starters that have injuries at the moment

Um,did I fall into a coma and dream or didn't miss st beat uconn last year for the title?

I still don't see how they lost in the final four last year.......

UCONN leads 24-6 after one quarter
