Jeff Jacobs: Inspired By Adams' Heave, Geno Readies UConn Women For Hand Of Fate

[jostar1]

"It's like I said to Kevin [Ollie] after that shot and I believe this with all my heart and I've lived my life like this: Fate — if you're lucky — will come around and tap you on the shoulder. And when fate does, you have to be prepared, because it may not happen again."

"Fate, what else can it be?" Auriemma said. "If they weren't supposed to win the tournament the ball wouldn't have gone in. It went in and now that's a sign to the rest of the team. Fate did its part. You have to do yours.



Includes Geno's thoughts about Kevin Ollie, and the fans.

It's all about the mojo, am I right?

I'm as bad as anyone second guessing KO"s moves during the season, but these words seem to ring pretty true. Geno would have great perspective on what goes on in that practice facility day in and out, year in and out and I don't think he could be higher on KO. Good article.

Good to see and hear KO & Geno having a good relationship compared to Geno & Calhoun. Can't blame Geno or Calhoun for their lacking relationship, it was tough to mesh 2 egos when they're both so big.
