Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2302730, member: 5798"] Cajun, I echo your sentiments completely. It's just one observer's opinion, but I think this loss will serve them well in the same fashion the Mississippi State loss will serve them, in that it will allow them to return home WITHOUT a false sense of bravado, and because UConn tends not to take losses lightly, [U]regardless of the circumstances[/U], the staff and the players will have something concrete to work and build on between now and that first game in November. The freshmen had their eyes opened w-i-d-e on this trip. Welcome to D-1 women's college basketball ladies. From this point forward, no one needs to tell them how it's going to be, or what they need to do to get better to be able to play and compete at this level. It is said that "experience is [U]the best[/U] teacher". This program will return home a little better than they left. They're a little closer, a little wiser. They now have 4 games under their belt that they didn't have when they left. They know that they need to get better, and what they need to work on to get to the place they need to be. I'd say that was a trip worth while. One they'll not soon forget. [/QUOTE]
