    UNC Women Surpass Men

    UConn 86, Carolina 35. Lowest scoring output and largest margin of defeat in program history.

    On the plus side, nobody tried to quit and go home.

    Yeah, there was no danger that UCONN would rush the court.

    Does the women's team call their scrubs "Blue Steel" too, or do they have a less embarrasing name?

    Part of the problem is Coach Hatchell. The average margin of defeat the past 5 outings is something ridiculous like 32 (including i think 2 1v2 matchups?)

    She insists that her team is a running team and that the way to beat uconn is to run with them, and each year they beat the pants off the heels. You would think after the first few times she might try to come up with a new game plan.


    anyway, I hope that the duke women don't fall to the same fate next week (as they have lost by similar margins of victory for the past few years)

    A UNC basketball coach with an inflexible approach and a dimwitted yet bullheaded plan to force ill-fitting players to a pre-conceived program formula of play?

    Can there really be two of them?!?

    UNC women's basketball? I don't see any method at all.

    I heard that Roy was watching the game, became worried about his safety then got up and went to the bedroom. Only later did he realize that he had left Wanda sitting on the couch!

    Ugly colored jackets and ugly people and I'm not talking about looks. GoDuke!

    The score could have been a lot worse. It was 71-21 when Geno started putting in some of the bench players who could not hit the broad side of a barn if they tried.

    How can UNC even be a ranked team after that beat down?

    Are you talking about the women's or the men's team?

    I brought this up on the FSU/UNC thread. There just aren't that many quality women's teams. Sylvia is known to get "athletes" and wants to run faster than even Roy does. They have such a high turnover rate, but it's like a woman's Loyola Marymount team sometimes and when shots aren't falling or the other team plays a modicum of defense, then they get stymied and it's all she wrote.

    Don't you just love it when this happens. I love to see sylvia complaining to the refs. I love to see the women's team lose almost as much as the men's team. Naw, it's not even close. GoDuke!

    Oh, Sylvia

    From the official website:

    "Coach Sylvia Hatchell said she didn't want to make any excuses for the rout, but noted that injuries have kept key players, including Laura Broomfield, Tierra Ruffin-Pratt and freshman Megan Buckland on the bench for long stretches this season."

    She doesn't want to make excuses, but then turns around and does it. She just can't help it.

    I guess that it didn't occur to her that if UNC had played a bit better, then Gino would have kep his starters in longer and they would have won by 60.

    BOTH! The women's team should be unranked after that spanking and I find it appalling the men's team only dropped 5 spots. That game was pathetic by them...guess the people who know what they're talking about (not us) are still looking at how good this team is on paper and not their production.

    I'm not going to laugh too long or loud (but I will laugh some!) as I also fear the same result as mentioned in the last sentence above.

    Well, um, don't recall Duke ever losing to them by 50+, but I could be mistaken... Sure hope that we at least are competitive this year! (I do think it will be a decent game.)

    Coach Geno actually put in some bench players?? Wow. Really?! I didn't think he ever did that! Boy, now I know it was outta hand! (But at least you're supporting Uh No's "defense" of why he had his starters still in vs Duke last year with 2 minutes to go and up by 35...)

    They aren't anymore. In fact GT now has more votes than they do. (And GT isn't ranked either)
