Just got back from the local sports bar, so I haven't had a chance to catch up with posts. It is entirely possible that someone else has reached the same conclusion as I, and it is this:
At various points in various games over the last, say 15 years, the UConn women have played stretches of 5 to 20 minutes of what I would call perfect basketball. I would define it as exciting basketball that overwhelms the opponent, does not include any mistakes, and creates offense (regardless of which UConn players are on the court) that is essentially unstoppable. I submit that we saw a bunch of that today in the first quarter. It was breathtaking, IMHO. Hope we see more of that level of play again this season, but if we don't, I'd say we were damn lucky to witness it in this gme.
