Message: [QUOTE="Bigpetunia, post: 2415194, member: 1772"] Geno is famous for espousing a philosophy that "we don't play to the scoreboard," meaning that he expects the same performance on the floor whether leading by two points or thirty-two. That sounds good, but we all know the reality is that the intensity level that built a 49-14 first half lead will not be maintained indefinitely. The game at the half was not even really as close as the score indicated...UConn not only had a few shots they normally make rim out, but, uncharacteristically, missed a few free throws. Then, even though we ALL agree that defense is quite unimportant, and virtually insignificant in comparison to offense (!), there were those shocking lapses on that end that led to Stanford putting up, count 'em, TEN first quarter points. Fortunately, that problem got fixed, resulting in just a four point performance by The Cardinal in the second quarter. But, what the hell, why not be dissatisfied? [/QUOTE]
