Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 2314408, member: 6488"] Hey, let's do a vocab check here: "hubris" does not refer to toughness; it refers to over-confidence (the bad kind, tantamount to arrogance). In this sense, hubris is the [I]opposite[/I] of toughness. I don't think anyone sitting here last November thought that UConn would do what it did. Geno spent the better part of the season warning the team that a loss was inevitable. Some of us predicted that the Huskies could lose up to 8 games last season. As many of you have already pointed out, toughness was more than evident. Perhaps the team might have ramped up its attacking ferocity if there weren't the constant danger of fouling out with a very thin bench and w/out adequate replacements. This year I believe we'll see a much more aggressive team because its depth affords it the chance to take more risks. How many arms does Kia have to rip off to qualify as "tough"? [/QUOTE]
