John A.: Some of Geno's quotes....

[Icebear]

Hey - this quote: "Geno clearly lost confidence in Banks. She went under the screen (for no reason) and then committed the silly foul." tain't mine. Think it's Cat's

It was indeed Cat's. I think saying Banks should have gone over top is true except for one thing. Sims ran her off a pair of screens and the first screen literally drove her down low on the pick with some movement so Banks had a hard time disengaging so that whether Banks went above or behind the second pick she was not going to be in good position.

Maybe I don't understand, but I thought I was supporting what you said. If Baylor gave us a game (and they did), then doesn't that make the accomplishment of winning this close game even more satisfying and encouraging?

I thought that it was obvious...

I said (and I went back to check to be sure): "But they won a close game in a hostile environment." Yes. Stated exactly the way I wanted it to sound, that is, without crowing about how well Baylor did. It was all about UConn.

On the conditioning front - it has been 6 weeks of fits and starts and players off from their routine and away from the gym for long stretches. Always a tough little window during the year. I think getting back to class and normal routine will help, but we are now in a geographically expanded contest with two more games in Texas to come. Traveling time zones and long flights can be pretty tiring for anybody at any age.
