So do we.
I didn't realize that. Who are the guys? Just college kids or backups that never play much on the men's team?

A lot of teams do. Where do you think Brian Steele came from?

I never thought about it really. Learn something new everyday I guess! I can see how it would help though.
 
Can all the bowing down to UConn end? I would like to see a rematch on a neutral court with unbiased officials with some fouls called on UConn.
 
We may play them in the Final Four again this season and we're definitely playing them in Columbia next season. I hope our crowd is as boisterous as theirs was.
 
They make their shots. They finish and don't just toss it and hope. Not sure why sc teams think the backboard is uncharted territory. I was Not impressed with their gym. Looked like a junior college.
 
They also shot over 70% from 3pt line...had an exceptional shooting night.
 
When our girls play the boys how much do they beat the boys by?

Not to worry . . .we'll be ready.
 
Wow, saw the ESPN thing about UCONN's WBB program....Hope Dawn saw it....There's a difference in recruiting vs coaching...Put the two together and you have what UCONN has ...Dynasty......Sorry, just a dose of realism...

We're the new kids around the block and we're learning to be great... It doesn't happen over night... We're in our 3rd year of playing good/great women's basketball... UConn has been playing about 15 years...To be the Great, you have to play the Great teams like UConn... What happen last night is not "a dose of realism"

I think if we meet in the NCAA's, the out come maybe different on a neutral court...
 
UConn is where UT was 10 years ago. We are where UConn was 10 years ago. Everything is in place. Our time is coming.

They probably don't. Pat Summit's teams used to get slaughtered by the boys they played against. Being able to play above the net is a huge advantage.
