BillsFooteball Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese is must see tv Monday night. Respectfully (and credit to each for own reason) that’s the first time I ever said that for a women’s college basketball game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been neat to see them rematch in the final 4, at least. it is crazy though— due solely to Clark, I have actually watched a little more women’s bball here down the stretch.

Another Fan Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Id be very surprised if anyone but UConn wins. I know there’s always the possibility of upsets but Dan Hurley probably has it still fresh in his mind his brother’s Duke team beating UNLV back in 1991. I think that was one of the biggest upsets then for it’s time? Anyway Dan just strikes me as that kinda guy. UConn ain’t letting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn winning it all is not a given. I actually think Purdue or NC State could match up well with them, if either of them make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was one of the biggest upsets then for it’s time? Anyway Dan just strikes me as that kinda guy. UConn ain’t letting up. I remember that game well. Not fondly, but well. We were in Boston on a work/pleasure trip and we met an old friend for lunch downtown at Ye Old Union Oyster House (est. 1826). I had a fried clam sandwich, and it seems the clams had been hanging around since the grand opening. A few hours later I had a rumbling in my tummy, but my wife’s co-worker was going to treat us to his favorite restaurant in Boston, on the bank, so I kept going. It was in a beautiful old white house away from the city. I remember going in and ordering ginger ale. It’s all I could handle, and just barely. I remember laying on the floor in the bathroom, and that is never good. I wanted them to enjoy the evening, so the maitre de got a taxi to get me back to the hotel. The driver realized how sick I was and tried to drop me off at a different hotel, ANY hotel, to get me out of his car before something terrible happened. 🤢 🤮 or worse I refused to get out, he got me to my hotel, and I listened to that basketball game from the cool tile of the bathroom floor of my hotel room. What a night! Good times! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caitlin Clark is extremely good and will go on to have a wnba career. Essentially, after they graduate we won't hear of or about with ever again.

They have three tremendous guards in everybody knows March madness is run through guard play We don't have big men... But I don't think we're that far off from making a run William Patterson could change that next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been pretty inconsistent for years but even the last few times they have gotten in as low seeds they made the sweet 16 2-3 And they have really good guard play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be a guard’s tournament. But I would argue that having depth and great play at the 4 and 5 is now almost equally important, especially in this day and age of grad transfers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a ball moving 3 who could switch defend multiple spots... 3 n D 2 athletic PGs who can get into the paint whenever.. attacking PGs 1 SG who is adept of off screens and catch and shoot situations 2 bigger combo guards who could switch defense , and be jack of all trades guys .. rebound , pass, put ball on deck That's 11 ... And boeheim semi used to build teams like this back in Day Edited April 2 by Buffalo716 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
