Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 4473959, member: 7597"] Perhaps not the game some or even many fans wanted, but the game this team needed. Needed in the sense that they stepped up and made big plays and had some unexpected HUGE contributions against a foe they were expected to beat down. Plus, as common as it is to say this, all the best teams need to still realize not to take anyone lightly. Every opponent is coming at UConn with their best. That might have been GTowns best game of the year, if not BEST for sure one of the best and UConn has that target on their back, expect 18 more battles, or at least the majority of those final 18 will be battles. The game was needed so the team can realize that they are taking everyone/nearly everyone's best shot. Hope this helps with the focus, better for it to happen now in December, and at home, and against GTown. Thankfully not with Nova, Xavier, Marquette and/or on the road. That's another thing, @St. Johns, @Nova, @Xavier, @Marquette, @Providence and @Creighton are going to be huge challenges as, especially with Creighton and Nova, they will be licking their chops at the chance to revive their season with a statement win at home and Gtown is just an intro as to what to expect from 2, 3, 4 or perhaps 5 or even all 6 of those away games.
