Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 3820705, member: 7511"] I go back and forth on this. I know this is UConn and our expectations as well as Geno's are much higher than at most other programs. One poster mentioned that Aaliyah seemed to regress today, and I could not agree more. At the same time, I have no idea how these kids manage to keep their focus in a country where isolation, disease and death are ubiquitous. As for this game specifically, I have the same confusion. On the one hand, UConn just played and won an emotional game in Knoxville on Thursday evening, probably not getting back to Storrs until early yesterday morning. I can't imagine they had much of a practice yesterday and then on to an early afternoon game today, without your best player and a key reserve. On the other hand, this was a mediocre Georgetown team that has only played 5 games so far this season. I suspect these questions will persist all season. If and when we get to the Big Dance, the teams that do well in the tournament will likely be those teams who not only have talent, but can also remain healthy (Covid free) and, through pure luck, maintain some type of schedule continuity [/QUOTE]
