Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2911316, member: 5798"] [SIZE=6]U[/SIZE]Conn is heading into a season unlike any in recent memory. It’s “new territory,” as longtime coach Geno Auriemma puts it. The Huskies will arrive on the other side either a triumphant story of rebirth or a sign that even greatness lulls from time to time. It’s a season of refashioning, in a sense. The program has all of three losses over the last five seasons and only lost once last season, albeit in the Final Four. The Huskies aren’t fully rebuilding, though there is quite a bit of that being done, but finding a new way to play that best fits the players they have. They’re replacing talent lost to the WNBA, integrating inexperienced players into the fold and preparing for a year that will rely heavily on their three returning starters. “We’re in new territory,” said Auriemma, who has coached the Huskies to 11 national titles. “We haven’t been here in a long time… We’re in a situation that we haven’t been in, and it’s going to take some time to shake it all out. But, as I said, we have our moments when it looks like it could work.” [URL='https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-womens-basketball-faces-rebuilding-year-20181011-story.html'][Article][/URL] [/QUOTE]
