Everybody Happy Now?

Subs in early. Never saw Geno do this. Ever.

 

[j66kicker]

I hope he actually leaves the subs in for the rest of the game - win or lose. Regardless, this amount of game time will make great film for learning

Did it against Cincinnati a few seasons ago.

Honestly they look terrible...the subs I mean. I am glad he let them play, but they just showed why they don't play much, if at all. The terminology which comes to mind is self-confidence. Geno is a great coach, but he cannot make his players confident. You either have it or you don't. I really hope Meagan can finally breakout at some point and become that seventh player in the rotation.

It was weird. I thought in the first 2-3 minutes, there was some continuity and good post entry passes and Z held them together. Then it all started to break down as Tulsa made some shots (3's _ penetration) , you could see whatever confidence they have just melt and they went into quick shot HS mode. You need to put the best bench players in 1 or 2 at a time with the starters to try to get useful integration.

They got enough film, it would not be fair to the starters to take a loss for no real reason. Geno once again being Geno proved his point.

Can't take a needless loss. Its going to be extremely competitive on who gets a #1 seed this year. Losing a conference game could have a huge impact depending on the outcome of the So Carolina and Louisville games.

Yeah I know- was just banking on the subs to find a way to win if they knew it was up to them. (I think they would) (against Tulsa)

News flash Uconn coach actually knows what he's doing. Would you trust any if the players you all wanted to play in a big game, especially on defense. Please

 

[Husky fanatic]

Can they still play without uniforms?

 

[Sonny44]

I thought it was great. They played the whole second quarter and didn't lose any ground. Think about it, how many other teams could do that?

But Stevens or Collier was always in there as well, and they scored almost all the points.

Against a lower level team ? Many

yup........trusted MW against ND and UCLA............and I would trust Coombs on defense

Not so.

Oh, he’s done it before.

 

[HuskyNan]

Oh, he’s done it before.

Took out Diana & other starters vs Providence. I think it was a three point game at the time.

LOL

From your indignation here and the title of your thread, I'm wondering whether you're thinking that the discussions on BY "caused" Geno to do it? Hope so!

 

[Charliebball]

I somehow think that Geno has better things to do then read what a bunch of spoiled, overly concerned UConn fans (myself included) have to say...............

No that's Marisa's job. She brings the BY input to the game planning sessions.

I don’t agree. I think he has a lot to with their confidence. Maybe he should stop putting them down in the press; that surely does not instill confidence.

ohhhhh.................what a lucky lady!

 

[Jammer]

Terrible

 

[todbo]

Do the bench players play as a unit in practice? If not, their panic is understandable, especially given what Geno has said about them.
