Geno's presser?

[visitingcock]

Geno acts just like we of the older generation expected our coach to react after a loss. Player motivation in our era.

Nowadays though, some younger folk might consider his words to be micro aggressions.

Paige had that terrible pass in the backcourt in the 3rd quarter that SC picked off and scored. Then Dorka did the same and bam 6 SC points in 10 seconds. Not sure we were ever the same.

For Paige it was a moment of carelessness and lack of concentration. If you aspire to be one of the all time greats, you cant do that.

Yeah, I think she was frustrated about a no call and sort of made a careless pass to E. Then SC makes a play and converts and the energy in the building shifts. Then Dorka and Paige sort of get flustered and turn the ball over again which results in another steal and score. They did come back however and take the lead at one point in the third. It was like 52-50 after AE went coast to coast which felt like it was going to be a signature play. I think shortly after that play E had a really bad full court pass turnover and then Zia Cooke converted on an easy layup. I didn't rewatch the 4th but through 3 it was really even and if Uconn just eliminated the unforced turnovers they probably would've been up.

Surprised Geno didn't say:
3 points in the 4th quarter is 3 more points than 5 dead people scored

Walker got better. Danger got a bit better. Collier got a lot better. Gabby got better. Stevens stopped messing around on the perimeter.

I'm not going to haggle about this. I said Collier. He didn't get Stevens to excel in his system. Danger hit a game-winning shot early freshman year. Walker overrated recruit. You're right, she did as well as expected. Gabby never learned to hit an open 15 footer. And she played high post for 3 years. Do the math on that.

Geno’s pressers get more and more bizarre. Not funny anymore.

I watched the second half just now and we were awful. They were soft, stop attacking , missing shot or nor taking them. They played like a high school team in the second half. The coach had no answer. They will be Ok but they played an awful half. Too early in the season for a tough game like this.

Now that’s cray cray

The presser was pretty much what I expected when I saw him smiling on the bench. Trust the man with the rings. If perchance he was nicey nice during the presser then at practice gave full vent to his frustration with the 4th quarter, he would be a hypocrite. He said what he said and what he will say to the team is the same thing. The returning players are very clear that their goal is a National Championship. For 10 minutes they did not play like a national championship team. They have talked the talk. Now we see how far they have to go to walk it out. I believe in them. It is November and November is practice.

I missed Collier.

Don't agree one bit on anything else you said. Danger can't get better because she hit a game winning shot as a frosh?
Stevens ended up being a NBA player whose game is defined by being an inside player. She was a wanna be small forward at Duke.

As far as Gabby, she was 1st team All_Amercian, being one the top three 1st team A//A's on her team so my math tells me that is great. Among the 99%% in all of women's basketball. She wasn't near that as a frosh or Soph. That is the math.
