Here Doggy, Doggy, Doggy

Duquesne is next and we have to get our minds right. Credit Dan Burt for be willing, after a 97-51 thrashing in the 2016 NCAAs, for being willing to get back on the horse ... or dog. His psychology approaching the game may be a little different this time. He may have riled up Stewie and company. He talked of "every zoo is a petting zoo" and "petting the Husky", thereby sealing the fate of his team. No, it took more than 5 minutes, but as he also said of the Huskies: "They are going to try to dominate your soul for the first five minutes and break your soul. " Well, Dan, that was a little harsh, but did you feel it? Duquesne coach Burt says key is not to let UConn 'dominate your soul'

Anyway, a memory of the last tilt:



Dan is a good coach and his teams are scrappy/tough, so it should be a good game. Massey has us at 91-52 with an atypical 100% win probability.

Lucky for him Stewie, Tuck, and Mo aren't walking through that door. Maybe this group of Huskies will be easier to pet?

Whew. Thanks for the refresher. Can Z dominate like Stewie did in that game. Can Crystal match Moriah?

Thank you so much for posting. I relished seeing the famous "Stewie triple block." I had forgotten a few of the details, such as the sequence ending in a shot clock violation.

I was so touched that after Stewie came out, when one of our players hit a 3, she was the one doing the high fives. Such a great and humble teammate, all the while knowing she is a superstar. Really special.

A nice reminder of how awesome the big three were. If you want an example of a well oiled basketball machine there it is.
