Last time I used this U-Cann line they lost but covered by that half pt.It was U-Done for Calhoun and his boys.
But tonite U-Conn girls goes against Tenn.The 2 top programs in girls basketball the past 7 yrs.They won the title between them 5 of those times.
I know there are many of you out there that follow the boys and could care less about girls b-ball.
But these teams excute there offenses,shoot like you can't believe,pass better then NBA players and play such great defense.
Conn girls is the most dominate team in sports.They are the UCLA's right now with their new recruiting class coming in.The rich get richer.Four yrs ago Gino recruited this class and everyone knew in a few yrs they would be unbeatable.They are.
No time to go over all the stats.You would not believe them.
They are 37-0 and win by an average of 36 pts per game.Gino is the biggesr asshole when it comes to running up scores and pressing teams[there is a coach in Florida now in DC with that same style].Many of those wins are against very talented teams including OU and Tenn in the final 4.
Sue Bird is the best pt gd on this earth.[maybe a few WBA girls better]Named PO-yr yest.Wasn't even close.She is one of the greatest passers ever.
Tape the game tonite if you have little ones you would like to teach.
Her backcourt mate is the Soph of the yr,Taursi.She doesn't miss.Against Tenn in Knoxville she had 32 pts in a 86-72 win.
Conn's frontline of Cash,Williams and Jones can score and rebound like a machine.Their interior passing when someone doubles them is "clinic".
Tenn of course is talented.They have 6'5 Snow who dunked one in the tourney.Summitt has 10-11 girls that all can play.She has so much depth and throws more combo's out there then Subways deli's.her top scorer Lawson is in a bigtime slump hitting 1-12 and 1-8 in her last 2 tourney wins.Pat always plays that pressure perimeter defense and everyone collaspe's inside.Any nite one of her players could be the high scorer.
Conn beat Tenn by 14 on their court back in late jan.
Both coaches respect each other but also hate each other.From past battles to the more important Recruiting wars.And Geno just landed the top player in the country and 3 of the top 7.
Conn has won 37 and only 1 by single digits.Tonite Tenn is to talented to let Conn run away with it.But I see a Conn 10 -12 pts lead maybe dropping down to single digits every once in awhile.But in the end when you foul Conn doesn't miss.I see a 16-20 pts win.And if Gino can run it up he will.

Like OU -4 for a small play.Caufield and Daley are the best backcourt in the US except for Bird and co_OU faster and the B-12 is the best womens conf in the country.OU wins by 10. GL

Hey Box, I hate to be going against you but
I see this game differnt. Uconn is probably
sitting on 4 WNBA 1st Rd picks or at least 3.
But to give my Lady Vols that many pts isnt
good LOL. UT and Uconn are the 2 best
programs in women's hoops period. That
might be slap in the face for Vols catching
that many pts. At the least Pat will use it
as motivation to get these girls fired up to
give Uconn a game, hell, might even pull the
upset LOL. I am probably looking at this game
wrong. Using my heart instead of my head.
But good luck to you. I always look at your
picks everytime I come here to madjack's.
You are a very solid handicapper and will
hope to see your picks for years to come
because there will come a time that I do start
to gamble again LOL. But go Lady Vols in
this one.

All due respect toTennessee!(and I think they cover) but I'm not bettin on it!
Box is on the money as usual and I'll just add that ....if ya havent seen em ....watch
Swin Cash 55%, Diana Taurasi 50% (45% from 3), Aijha Jones 56% Tamieka Williams 70%, and the inimitable Sue Bird 51%, (47% from 3) 94% at the line...........Assists over opp. 2 to 1
Turnovers 5 to 7.........46 boards per game........blocks 222 to 80

This team is in a class by itself......
Can they be beat.....sure
Tonight .......maybe Tennessee will come to play!!!!
Can they blow past Tennessee ......YES.........

I just think they have not gotten 40 min in last 2 and will need 40 tonight ......not to Win but to cover.

I'm not bettin on it however...

good luck

Coach B,your Lady Vols are good.I just think this is the best passing team I've ever seen play together.
Vols could easily cover this game.They have so much depth and Pat is in a class by herself as a coach.I heard her yrs ago at a clinic and she was great.
Just think Gino has that aragance about him.If he can run it up he will.And Bird is "poetry in motion".I saw her play when she played for CTK in NYC.Actually it was an AAU tourney.
Conn girls basketball is one of the best due to UConn.[even though her stars aren't raised there]
I have 3 daughters and have coached girls AAU for yrs.It's so different then coaching the boys in HS.
But,forgive me Bear,the Conn teams like Conn. Starters and Conn Storm are so more advanced and better then most of us in the east coast.
And they all wear new uniforms,same sneakers,same gym bags,same warm ups,etc.
My team went to Target to get dressed.And then they kick your ass with no mercy.I've lost games to them 88-23,etc.
And it's most of the Conn teams playing AAU.I think it comes from Gino's style.
GL tonite.

Box...good job. This might be the best ladies team
we have seen in years. I think the Tenn team that
went 39-0 was pretty good too with Holdsclaw. I
guess my heart was wrong on this one LOL. Good
luck today on the men's Final Four.
