I'm not trying to open old wounds here, merely trying to put closure on last season.

It's Not All Celebration All The Time ~ Geno

The mood inside the Glastonbury Boathouse shifted from carefree to somber with one question. “Was this [loss] harder to get over?”

The event — the UConn Huskies Road Show — was supposed to be one of fun and interaction between coaches and fans, but the mood immediately changed when UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma was asked about the Huskies’ overtime losses that ended the past two seasons.

While there had been murmured conversations and movement throughout the event held Monday at the Glastonbury Boathouse during other coaches’ time to speak, there was silence as everyone stood still and awaited Auriemma’s answer. “Sometimes you have to be reminded that there is another side to this game where you actually go back to the locker room and it’s not all celebration all the time,” Auriemma said. “So I try to rationalize it by going, ‘This is part of what we do.’ Not everyone understands that because it’s not something we’re used to doing.”
