Chandler#81 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 We were thrilled to see our Chattanooga Mocs make the Dance, but the outcome was a debacle! There may well be some screamin' about this from much better Div. 1 schools, about small conference tournament champs getting an automatic bid. At the very least, don't invite every team to the conference tournament, just the 6-8 best ones. Just an idea.. One thing we are grateful for, we didn't have to play the UConn GIRLS team! They'd have hung 200 on our azz.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I didn't catch the whole game, but the score says a lot. I don't know 'bout people wanting to scrap the bids --- it's seemed to work for a while now, and small-conference winners have produced their share of excitement. Parity rules, but no one really expects a #16 seed to look good vs. a #1 anyway. Congrats for getting to the tourney. As for the women's team, I 'bout think Geno would have had a triple-double... There were many people on-campus in 2004 (when they both won the championships) who said the women's team would've beaten the men's head-to-head. There'd been rumors that they played pick-up and Taurasi kicked a--. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Please, you have nothing to be ashamed of. UCONN is a damn good team. Congrats to your team on getting into the position to play them on such a stage...it starts with one game...before you know it, you are up there with the elites....

Chandler#81 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks, Poojer & UCJ. Getting to the Dance was HUGE for the area. None of the Tennessee teams have won yet.. Yeeesh! C'mon Pat Summit! ( Just please lose BEFORE we have to play the Huskies!..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 What was the name of that guard...Berube or something like that, that played (I think) when Lobo was there? Heck of a player... Carla Berube. And yes. But that whole '94 team was something else. There's been a long string of those 'heck of a player' for Auriemma. To count that high, I'd have to tally all my fingers, take off my shoes and unzip my fly. Imagine if Shea Ralph hadn't blown out her knee (twice. I know I guy who knew her who was literally in tears the second time. He was filling in for color analyst on the local radio broadcast) and yet she was still an animal on that floor chasing balls oob, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
