Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 4216068, member: 9355"] this is trap game plain and simple. Will UConn lose? I don't think so, but when determining what is a trap game, it's based on potential and circumstances. Hurley will have to rip into them and be tough on them at practice because the players will be on an emotional sugar high after beating Nova in front of that raucous crowd- and they should be on that emotional sugar high. It's what Pitino stated in an interview he does. If his team is playing great and on a winning streak, he is very tough on them to prevent the players from being full of themselves. If the team is on a losing streak, he won't be too tough on them and will be easier on them on a psychological level to build up their damaged confidence. The one thing in our favor of overcoming the trap game is that GTown is 0-whatever in the BE and 6-20 overall. UConn doesn't want to be the first team to lose to a winless GTown. [/QUOTE]
