Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4244593, member: 26"] Loved this quote by Geno: “[I]So here we are going to Bridgeport and you’re gonna hear the uproar next week, ‘It’s not fair. NC State’s gotta come up here and they’re gonna have to play Connecticut, maybe, on Connecticut’s home court, blah, blah, blah blah what a terrible thing that is.’ Well, you know, that’s life. And first we have to get there and if we do get there we still have to play great and you still have to win[/I].” Another great quote - he is incredibly gracious even in defeat: On loss to Villanova: “[I]Whenever teams beat us that’s their national championship game. So that’s going to be their highlight for life. … That’s kind of who we are. We’ve become Alabama football, Kentucky basketball, it’s just we’re the standard that everybody goes by and if you can beat Connecticut then you’ve won the national championship so to speak. ... [B]I texted her (Villanova coach Denise Dillon) when she was her way home on the bus from our place, I said, ‘Man, that was unbelievable. You guys just kicked our butts and I’m really proud of you because you’re doing a hell of a job with that team.[/B]’ Sometimes you just gotta give the other team credit. They played great.[/I]” [/QUOTE]
