Alright, ladies, you said all year you wanted UConn.
Well you got them. Now, what are you going to do?

Find a way to stop Katie may or someone who bombarded us with 3's I recall. The more we play them can only help us but this time maybe we won't be as intimidated of course with the lineup they had last year, who wouldn't have been? 3 of their players went 1,2,3 in the draft I think.

They had the top 4 WNBA picks in last year's draft.

Stewart, Jefferson and Tuck
And Katie was a bit much for us. We can redeem ourselves though.

the men's team should be in Dallas Friday, routing for the Girls. And maybe they can pick up a few pointers on how a "TEAM" plays
-
Final Four appearance was ceiling... they met that. I have no idea if they will loose by 60 to UConn or if they can make it competitive but I will be paying attention.
This reminds me of the USA win vs Russia in the 80? Olympics. Semi-final match against the team of the century but they won. If they had lost the championship, what then?
I would take the win vs UConn and my chances in the title game.

I'd love to see Oregon upset them but if not I hope they win by 60. Maybe we can catch them looking ahead to the championship game.
-
UConn is not there... yet, but I fully expect them in the final four.

No, no, no. I would like for us to have the shot at breaking that undefeated streak. Think of the publicity and recognition that would bring our girls and this team!
We have nothing to lose at this point, so no reason to come out tight. They have reached what they were playing for, so let it all hang out now and go for the knockout.

You wan to play uconnn..
Reason why is . No one will remember out side the winning universities fan base who wins the championship 5-10 years from now.
But whoever knocks of Uconn and ends the streak will always be remembered . And esp if it's done in the final four.
Just like no one remembers who won the NCAA men's championship 5 years ago but everyone knows Norte Dame ended UCLA streak back in 1974.

Somehow, some way keep it close to start the 4th quarter. This is where we are experienced, and they are not. Its a tall order, but that's the recipe to win.

While still the cream of the WBB NCAA world, UConn is not near the team they were last year. Yeah, there still at the top of the mountain, but I think we've all noticed a little Bulldog magic with this team. That said, "why not us?" Why can't we be the ones to end UConn's winning streak?
One thing for sure, I'm enjoying this ride as much as the '96 ride.

And if our girls can beat UConn then there's no reason why Mullen can't beat Bama. Go get it girls.
Death penalty or bust!!!***
-
They played Oregon already?
-
This team has won how many championships? How many games in a row have they won? You think this is the type of team to "look ahead" and slip up?

Uconn's women are more dominant than Saban has ever been.

LOL ... right!! We can hope I guess.
Not sure Dan goes about his job in same manner as Vic. With the team and coach I watched last night, I would be much less surprised if we upset UConn than if we upset Bama in football. Not saying I wouldn't be very surprised if we won next weekend.

Yes, people do remember who won the men's championship 5 years ago haha. And I am by no means a regular follower of women's basketball, and even I know the only women's teams to win a title recently are UConn, Baylor, and A&M. It would be a bigger deal to win the national title than to beat UConn. Now, if we beat them on the way that's fine...but I would rather play Oregon than UConn. Without question.
