Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4091545, member: 26"] For people who can't hear the audio... [B]Head Coach [URL='https://uconnhuskies.com/coaches.aspx?rc=599']Geno Auriemma[/URL][/B] [I]On what impressed him in the scrimmage:[/I] "The crowd, I was most impressed by the crowd. I thought 8,400 for an exhibition game says a lot about our fans and how excited they are to be back in the building and see this group of players play. That was really good. As far as the basketball part, I was impressed by the first quarter. I thought we did a bunch of really good things. After that not so much, but that's why you play exhibition games. To find out what's good, what's mediocre, and what's not so good." [I]On having two post players in the starting lineup:[/I] "It was the same group that finished the season last year. We figured let's give it a shot and see how it looks. It doesn't mean that is what the starting lineup is going to be Sunday, or next month or two months, or three months. That just happened to be what it was tonight. Sunday could very well be the same and could very well be different. It may be game specific this year, who knows. We have options so that's good." [I]On Dorka Juhász's performance:[/I] "Well the one thing you notice, Dorka plays exceptionally hard, right? She competes and she's skilled in the lane, she's really long and can't get the ball on the rim a lot of different ways. It doesn't take her much. It was really good to see her make that three. I knew there was an airball there, I'm glad it was the second one, not the first one. But if she can make a couple of those on a regular basis, I think that's a huge help with what we are trying to do. She also plays good defense. She's got an aggressiveness about her, and her footwork is pretty good. You can see that she's played a lot of basketball, it's not like we just brought in a freshman who needs a lot of work. She missed most of the preseason so she is still getting caught up. This was probably her best week of practice so far. Her conditioning is still a work in progress, so that's what I'm keeping my eyes on. I thought she had a pretty good tempo today. She played at a pretty good pace, for her and for our offense."
