LOL... you do know this is a LV board? So your opinion as a Uconn fan carries about as much weight as his bracketology towards actual seeding.

You may want to be worried about the other fan base who is going in on Geno and Paige harder than the LV fanbase

So very true but yet they continue to come here to discuss their train wreck of a team.

 

[Rooster1]

You do know that bracketology is pure fiction, don't you. It has no bearing on real life and it's only purpose is to garner clickbait from the casual fan who thinks it is significant.

At this point in time, it is entirely realistic to think Uconn has another 3 losses on their schedule and tbh, if that occurs, what will be Uconn’s wins vs quality teams from here on out? A three seed is in the realm of possibility esp if PB is not back.

Yeah, the bigeasy conf will work against them, esp if they drop a conf game god forbid. Imagine Uconn in the PAC, B1G, B12, SEC or ACC this year, that would spell more than 3-4 losses from here easily. I don’t see Uconn beating Louiville or SC, 2 of the remaining 3 games vs a ranked opponent, and if TN beats them, there are no other ranked teams on their schedule. One or more of the bigeasy teams might show up in a game also.

I don't mind the discussions TN be uconn is what helped grow the game. It's weird though that i've seen on twitter about people celebrating a young ladies injury and i can assure you the posts that i've seen about the injury have been more directed at Geno and underdevelopment AND those posts came from some of our fans but it's other fans who are going hard.

It helped UConn for sure. It didn’t help Tennessee. I have to wonder if Pat would have shut it down much earlier than she did if she would have known just how classless Geno would actually become with all his slander of Pat and the manipulative assistance from his local media outlet.

I think comments Geno made about Es injury not being correctly handled at UT add to the enthusiastic comments regarding PBs uncalled for end of game injury. Karma, as they say, is a b****.

You mean the conference with DePaul, who just beat No. 14 Kentucky at Rupp Arena?

That will be a tough game for UConn. So will Marquette.

Yes, UConn with the depleated roster could have had several losses in those conferences.

I'm sure it helped TN in someways ... maybe not as much as uconn and their visibility. I don't know if she would have shut it down but in her book she said she regretted not actually sitting down and talking it out before it got to that. I think she may have put egos aside and tried to get it under control more.

Then she woulda shut it and him down had he not complied

Apparently Uconn even with a full roster would struggle to sweep games in any of those power 5 conferences….likely 2-4 losses based upon early results when they were full strength, and I’m trying to be real here. But under current circumstances (most teams have to deal with injuries) it is a given. Let’s not forget UCLA is just as wrought with injuries as Uconn.

Would struggle to sweep games with a full roster? They haven’t had a full roster yet this year, so how do you know that?

 

[FormerLadyVolFan]

Single game UConn tickets go on sale Tuesday...

 

[Rooster1]

Would think that during the early part of the season Uconn was close enough to full strength to be about equal with most teams as far as injuries…..before you quickly reply, study the rosters of opposing teams they have played…who was full roster? Not SC, who you may be thinking, and not most others also. UConn had their nucleus intact at the time of the SC game.
UCLA made it a game with 3 starters out plus two role players. Not nearly the star power players as Uconn either…..there is a theme here which you keep missing.

But yeah, some teams are competing with depleted or less talented rosters and in years past, UConn never flinched. I’ve seen some flinches lately. Looking mortal or dare I say not special anymore, even when healthy. That’s a big jump from the past that Connie’s deflect from.

That term, depleted roster, not sure that was a proper use. Compare your remaining roster with UCLA’s remaining roster. Congratulations on the win, btw.

So Uconn was competing against UCLA and GT at a disadvantage in talent? You do know UCLA was w/o 3 starters right? And I would say correctly mind you, GT didn’t have near the talent on their roster as Uconn in spite of injuries….but maybe you are saying GT and UCLA actually are more talented than given credit for? Which brings to the forefront the issue that parity has caught up with the Huskies who now need a full chamber of their players to call it fair now? My how times have changed.

Last I checked, the bigeasy conference has one ranked team. Prob expected to get 2 teams into the tourney, SEC might put 8-10 into the dance, similar for other power 5 conferences. Tell me again how DePaul and Marquette make your story correct.

Listen, I’m from New England, I recognized the brilliance of the Husky program during their entire run, I appreciated the BB they played, the style and excellence they exhibited. But damned if I will now just let their fans turn the tables on the talk about why the game of WBB is diff now than it was even 3-5 years ago. A lot has changed, and during that change I am seeing Husky fans like you try to spin now.

To drop from a 97 percentile roster (based on recruiting rankings) to a 94 percentile ranking does not meet the definition of “markedly” . gtsoh…

 

[lvocd]

Johasz played professionally in Hungary before coming to CT (and Muhl played four seasons of professional ball in Croatia), and Edwards was a member of the Canadian National Team in Tokyo and was the Big East Sixth Woman of the Year last year. Not exactly scrubs.

You keep doing the comparing roster thing. That has nothing to do with UConn struggling in sweeping games as you first stated.

You also are now saying “nucleus” intact. the question was a full roster And how UConn would do the Power 5 conferences. A different Question that you keep avoiding.

“Apparently Uconn even with a full roster would struggle to sweep games in any of those power 5 conferences….likely 2-4 losses based upon early results when they were full strength, and I’m trying to be real here.”

You haven’t seen them 100% or full strength so again, how do you know how they would do?

 

[Bballnut1952]

Where did you ever get those numbers? Losing the best player in the country and the highest ranking freshman and their back up point guard only drops them 3%?

I said they were depleted. That’s all. UCLA is depleted as well. Just not as much talent missing or on the court as UConn.

 

[Rooster1]

And yet Uconn still had a superior level of talent available than UCLA did, check the rankings. And what of GT? Far greater reason for the argument if you are honest.

Yes, UConn had more highly ranked talent on their teams than UCLA and GT.

“Apparently Uconn even with a full roster would struggle to sweep games in any of those power 5 conferences….likely 2-4 losses based upon early results when they were full strength, and I’m trying to be real here.”

Please tell me what UCLA and GT’s talent level Has to do with your statement?

 

[Rooster1]

Last point…I do believe the PB and to a lesser extent the Fudd injuries will strengthen the Uconn team in the long run. Forced Geno to start developing his talented bench, we saw shades of that in the UCLA game, not so much the GT game of course. But the issue everyone is talking about is why did he not tap into that talent and try to develop them earlier? Some say he desires to play his top 5 35 min a game and bury teams….I never said that, but I do see where he rested on elites to carry a big load and when an injury or two happened he was flabbergasted in post game interviews…like he didn’t know it was his job already to develop these 5 star bench players and integrate them before that?

It goes back to Uconn not developing their super talented bench in games before injuries raised their ugly head, you seem to miss that integral point. Now Husky fans spin reasons other than that for why a less talented roster like GT can whip Husky butt.

Point in case, have you been watching Dosharme growth now that she is given time? She is eating pine all year without PB and Fudd injuries…she should have been playing in blow out wins…and more.

You keep arguing about things I haven’t said.

You haven’t seen them at full strength so how would you know.
