Ah Hah: Geno Admits It

"the West Coast took a lot out of us." Samuelson scores 33 as UConn beats Duquesne 104-52

With Lou going down that trip more than proved the mettle of the team, but I hope Geno remembers and doesn't pull a trip like that again.

Geno and this team are all about challenges. They are young. They got through it. They are better for it mentally.

Got to agree with eebmg--these are the challenges that make them better, and I'm guessing that meister Geno knew that when he scheduled it.

It wasn't the West Coast trip per se, but the scheduling within the trip. Geno complained before hand that he had hoped to have another day of rest in CA before the UClA game but it all got compressed because of the Oregon site game, because (this is me, not Geno) Phil Knight usually gets what he wants: money doesn't talk, it swears.

Happy that they did the trip, got to see UCONN live in Reno.

Geno referred to whole schedule to this point being hard, not only the West Coast swing. It was also trips to Columbus & Chicago. The schedule gets a little more regular with conference play starting although there's a bunch of miles in AAC travel.

One thing I did like in the upcoming travel schedule is that the Texas game in mid-January is piggybacked onto the game at Houston. I'm pretty sure that the flight to Texas is the longest trip, mileage-wise, that UConn takes in conference play.

Not to nitpick here, but the difference between flying to Texas and flying to say, ND is maybe an hour by jet. They aren’t traveling by train, you know. It’s not distance, so much as having road games stacked up and being away from home base for several days.
