Could, yes. But it's about a 10% chance, at best.
I say 35%Quote:

Easy Romeo
We would have to be on shooting and not turn the ball over but it's possible if they have an off night.
On a neutral court with nobody watching ... maybe so. You gotta take the intangibles into account ... that's how you win basketball pools.
Taking UConn WBB down may even be more intimidating than taking Bammer down in football.
ETA: As far as "handling the moment" that is.
Don't know what they're like this year, but they were exceptionally fast last year. I just don't see it happening.Quote:

My point exactly. Sorta like beating UCLA under Wooden. That was done once or twice ... but in the curent sports climate of today the moment would be overwhelmingly suffocating probably for a team from Starkville.Quote:

UConnot be serious, they would steamroll our asses by 50 again! I want no part of UConn ever. Preacher you're off your meds we have exactly 0% chance of beating UConn.

UConn is not really our concern. The game on the 23rd at SC is huge. We are going to have to win that game or beat them in the SEC tournament (which is in Greenville, SC) to get a 1 seed. We may need to win them both, and obviously not get upset by a low rpi team.
.05% chance to beat uconn
So if we somehow face Uconn in the NC game, we don't have a chance? Just might as well not show up. Get the 17 out a here.
They beat Florida State women by 3 points...they are damn good but are beatable this yearQuote:

Any team can beat any another team on any given night. It just depends on how that round ball bounces.
If by slipped up you mean the entire team fell down a flight of stairs and sprained an ankle. Our girls are extremely good, but UConn is just a different animal.Quote:

Can they be beat this year? Sure it's possible. But there are only a couple of teams that would have to be perfect and them off their game.Quote:

Madison Elementary football squad could never beat the New England PatsQuote:

UConn would dominate us even on an off night for them. We're good, but we're not in the same universe as UConn.
Yea they NEVER have anyone come close....

I mean, that was the only single-digit win in their 76-game win streak. Sure, it means something, but it also just proves just how hard it is to even get within striking distance.Quote:

No one person or team is unbeatable. Sooner or later, there is always someone better. Why not our girls?
similar to the chance that Clemson would beat Bama.Quote:
