I was waiting on the proper sedge-way...
The smartest thing I have seen in my absence during this day was written by V4L:
This is what is wrong with half of America....instead of working hard to get up to the bar that is set...we want it lowered or someone moved to make it easier to reach that bar....stupid
Congratulations on saying what needed to be said.
UCONN only scares those who haven't grown with the game,,, Namely most of women's BB... They are simply playing the style of game that the men have played forever.
But "girls can't do that like boys".... We're seeing it folks. I have been teaching 12 year old girls to do 1-dribble layups from every point of the arc, using only their on-ball hand, no use of the off-hand,,, I teach 12 year old girls to shoot from above the temple, run givengo's, picknrolls, no-look passes and full-contact layups... Girls/womens BB has grown. Grow with it or watch it grow away from you.!
The lady Vols are playing that very same brand of BB right now.... I never knew Nared could be a stopper, but she shut down the highest scorer in the tournament... I am ready to give her a go with Breanna. And ball movement? The LV's moved that ball to perfection.
UCONN is in the category of "MJ, Shaq, John Wooden, and now the GS Warriors and Steph Curry", During all of their reins, people yell "they are bad for the game"... But years later when fans think back and long for such a superstar they think on these eras. They are in control of the movement of the game for the moment.
You don't beat a team like UCONN by hero worshipping them.... You beat them by putting them on your level mentally and physically. When you put them on a pedestal, you look up to them from the opening tip... Yes... We don't have a Breanna Stewart, and ...
And they don't have a Diamond DeSheilds.
You play the hand dealt you. And folks, I have witnessed a pair beating three of a kind before, so it can happen.
