First she writes an article about dimished expectations, then one about UConn players ignoring such noise!

"Yes, the loss of Kia Nurse, [URL='https://www.courant.com/topic/sports/basketball/gabby-williams-PESPTF00364-topic.html']Gabby Williams[/URL] and Azura Stevens caused the Huskies to fill key roles with inexperienced players. Yes, the defense isn’t as good as it was last year. Yes, they’re still working through a transitional period and searching for consistency. But underdogs? To UConn assistant coach [URL='https://www.courant.com/topic/sports/shea-ralph-hpa3545-topic.html']Shea Ralph[/URL], the idea is absurd. "

Article sort of zigs and zags, but some interesting observations from Shea.

Shea's suggestion that opponents will come out going for the throat because they think the Huskies vulnerable is an interesting one.
