So what do you do? Not blow out teams on purpose? UConn beat the SEC tournament champions by almost 30. UConn also takes on all comers non-conference, regardless of what conference they are in. UConn came down here and drubbed us down here. You think UCLA ever let up on teams? You don't orchestrate close games; they just happen. Otherwise, the great teams keep the hammer down. They got beat last night. All I know is it wasn't by us and if never has been by us. That's the issue we ought to be looking at.A few seasons ago, Notre Dame went undefeated all the way up to the championship game, including 3 wins over UCONN. But UCONN beat them in the tournament final. Playing in the American is harming UCONN. Yes, I know king ward says the goal is to beat every opponent by 50, but blowouts do not prepare a team for close games in pressure situations.

Have a nice morning living vicariously through what ND was able to do that we haven't been able to do. I'm headed out for some recreation in a little while.

Even if I do, it won't be our WBB team I'll be losing to.I'll be enjoying the sunny skies and the Spring game. Try not to choke on the golf course like your hero.

It isn't trash until you leave the confines of the truth.Who talks trash against his own university's most successful program?

Having utterly failed with logical refutation, you have predictably resorted to the personal attack, something which I eschew. I play at Lancaster Golf Club. But no matter, I expect to have a wonderful day, even as I do almost every day. Thanks.You're a much bigger loser than anyone on our WBB team. Have fun at the Republic Golf Club, champ.
They had 6 players last night.How many on the bench??? I think we were down to 8 or 9 players???

Only Jesus owns me, son.lolz. You're not fooling anyone. You permanently hold a grudge against Dawn because she owned you last year.
Yes, because we came in limping with injuries and 3 players out for the season...
Oh, they were ravaged. If anyone could use injuries as an excuse, it would be they.To my understanding ND has had 3 or 4 ACL injuries this year ... worse that our Lady G's ...
ND had four players out with torn ACLs.Yes, because we came in limping with injuries and 3 players out for the season...
That doesn't mean he knows this one.
I think it's a match-up issue. We just don't match up well with UConn. We could probably go toe to toe with Notre Dame but we can't seem to get within double digits of UConnKilling me with 2:00 left.
BINGOWell they play a lot better defense than we did. Wide open 3's and lay ups don't get you wins.
I was the one who said that, and no, I am still not embarrassed.So the guy telling me getting blown out by UCONN wasn't embarrassing because they quote "do this to everyone..." is it still not not embarrassing to you?
Would someone explain to me how UCONN was getting all those uncontested, or slightly contested 3s on us? Of course, they were making them!Well they play a lot better defense than we did. Wide open 3's and lay ups don't get you wins.

You're not supposed to ask that.Would someone explain to me how UCONN was getting all those uncontested, or slightly contested 3s on us? Of course, they were making them!
You're not supposed to ask that.
And, I presume no combination of man to man would not result in excessive fouls, based on our limited depth?When 2 of our 5 players on the court at any given time were some combination of Wilson, Jennings, Herbert-Harrigan or Lele (sometimes 3 of those 4), then it shouldn't be surprising that we couldn't defend the perimeter effectively. Jennings is especially poor defender outside of 3 feet from the basket. Our bigs were just too slow rotating to the ball against a team that plays 4 shooters and makes the extra pass like UCONN. We had only 3 players -- Harris, Jackson, Cliney -- who would qualify as perimeter defenders.

You're so easily rankled. I, and not you, have ansoncock's best interests at heart. His question implied undue vulnerabilities that we aren't supposed to have by this stage in the program's development. It's dangerous to pose such questions around here. I'm not going to be as pedagogic in my explanation. The simple answer is this: other than A'ja Wilson, UConn is better than we are all the way down the roster. Mystery resolved.Get down off the cross, we could use the wood. Stop with the martyr schtick. He asked a basketball question and I gave him a basketball answer.
