I am sorry I heard someone interviewed today and he said it’s good for women’s that U Conn is good because everyone will elevate their game but clearly very few Teams have even come close and occasionally beaten them but it’s very hard to watch women’s basketball because they are so dominant!!Now up 74-44 over SCOops - Rolling
Its reality that womens college basketball has Uconn as the premier program and a small cadre of other teams to fill the other 3 NCAA Final Four spots year after year.All number 1 seeds made it also. Just very boring.
It seems so long ago that we thought we could compete with them.
I believe Summitt's 8 National Championships along with being the runner up 5 times go a long way to prove she could recruit great talent and coach that talent into constant National Championship contenders.If the late Pat Summitt had Dawn Staley’s talent we would have a real rivalry in women’s college basketball!
We could compete head to head during that period, although in general, they out-performed us across the board.Thought we could?
We did compete with them for a few years there. From 2004-08, UConn's record vs. Rutgers was 6-5... we just couldn't keep it up.
Since Stringer arrived at Rutgers, Rutgers has had more wins against UConn than all but two programs. In those 24 seasons... Notre Dame has 13 wins, Tennessee has 10, Rutgers has 6, Stanford has 4, UNC has 3, BC has 3, Duke has 2, Nova has 2, and LTech has 2.... 10 other schools have a single win.
We could compete head to head during that period, although in general, they out-performed us across the board.
"It's not that I have a fear of Connecticut," said Stringer, whose team handed the Huskies their only loss of the season Feb. 5 before UConn returned the favor with a 20-point win in the regular-season finale two weeks ago. "I was just stunned, shocked ... wow! That's a mind-blower. I am totally stunned. If I was a betting woman, I would have lost a lot of money."
"With so many teams to choose from it's kind of ironic," Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said. "I guess Rutgers is the No. 8 seed in the country? I find that hard to believe, but I guess they are. If I were them, I'd be questioning a little bit what's going on."
"I'm not surprised," said Ajavon of the tough draw. "If it would have been any other way, I would have found it weird."
Said Stringer: "I'm fired up. We can clearly see what's going on."
It's the fifth time in six years that Rutgers would play a lower-seeded team on that team's home court or in its home state. Last season, the fourth-seeded Scarlet Knights played No. 5 seed Michigan State in East Lansing in the second round.
