It takes the bigger man to admit they have been wrong...

Who to believe? Kelly says she should have passed to ball to KML at the top of the key instead of the lob to Brianna. Geno seems to be saying the mistake was his.

If Geno was referring to his failure to call a time out, he has graciously validated a criticism that many of us (less knowledgeable about wcbb than he) had aimed at him here on this board.

Comforting to know, but it also blows a hole in the back-and-forth discussion that has ensued.

Kib - In this particular case I don't think he had any choice but to admit to a mistake because it was so obvious. Chris Dailey even hinted at it post game.

I disagree with both of them, she should have called a timeout and regrouped instead of rushing a dangerous pass. But when there is doubt I always do the same thing. Trust in Geno.

Kelly Faris is Superwoman in disguise!!​

We have made alot of mistakes againest ND over the past 2 seasons, if we learned from them I would hate to be ND when UConn meets them in the Final 4.

That big "if" word implies a major contingency. As the old saying about "if"goes:

If a bull frog had wings, he wouldn't bump his ass every time he jumps!​

There are, of course, other "if" adages, but let's skip them for now.
