Yeah I can never open these either. I'll just wait for The UConn Blog to post them - hopefully they do - being an away game they may not have them.

It opened for me ok. But one trick to try is copying the URL and pasting it into a different browser. IE to Chrome or etc.

Geno on "the streak": "It is not something I put any value on."

He is obviously not listening to the BY poster who would be willing to give up the NC this year to break the win streak instead

Thanks for posting these - it's a real pleasure watching the post-game pressers.

Geno on "the streak": "It is not something I put any value on."

After all, he'd be breaking his own record, and he must be ambivalent. Not that he doesn't like the players responsible for the current streak, but he's also beholden to the players who have the 90 streak.

I continue to harken back to Geno's reaction when someone asked him if he regretted EDD's leaving UConn. His response was that it meant less to UConn than to the other teams because the streak would have been extended way out. If UConn does go undefeated this year, it's not inconceivable that the current streak could go to ~200, and I think Geno respects the game (as well as balance in life) too much to hope for that to happen.

I'm ok with 200.

Geno says "well they haven't been here for most of those" which is true enough but it's pretty obvious and most impressive that they've taken ownership and don't want it to end on their watch. This team is really fun to watch and appreciate not because of overwhelming talent like in some other years but in their total commitment to what they're doing.

It was a joy to watch the Maryland presser. Brenda and the players were positive, upbeat and looked like people who really enjoyed playing UConn. No hangdog expressions here. In fact, without knowing better, it looked like Md. had won. Very impressed.

Actually Destiny wiped away a few tears. But, yes, Brenda was pretty upbeat.

Brenda knows what it's like to be really down; no matter how demonstrative she gets during a basketball game, she knows it ain't the game of life.

Gotta hate losing more then you like winning. So "they" say.

Thanks for posting these. I guess I was expecting a bit of bitterness or complaint from Coach Freese, but I thought her comments and attitude were good, with accurate descriptions of what happened in the game. I also was impressed by the players. And given their performances last night, I think this team will be a force to be reckoned with in the tournament.

Final note: Slocum was outstanding last night!

I wonder if Brenda's team performed better than she expected.

For all the pre-game we're-more-focused-and -competitive-run -'em-out-of-the-gym talk, I think her players showed her something she didn't expect.
