I was watching the UCONN Women's AAC Tournament game agains Cincinnati - a game they won by 59 points - with a neighbor and his son. The father was a 3-year starter at Cal Poly in his day and his son a scholarship player at UC Santa Barbara back in the 90s. I was surprised that they would be interested in the UCONN game, since they are West-Coast guys, didn't profess to follow the women's game at all, and it was a pretty spectacular day weather-wise in Laguna Beach to be sitting inside watching a 59-point blowout. They obviously knew why I was watching. They were really into the game, even more than I was. I asked them why? They both looked at me and at the same time pretty much said the same thing........(paraphrase) that they loved the UCONN hustle and style of play on both ends of the court and they absolutely loved watching Geno. They simply said that it was about as pure an example of the way the game should be played that they have ever seen.
