Message: [QUOTE="RSHERMVIKES, post: 3535102, member: 2251"] Fairfield Fan, That semifinal game in 2001 was the game that Geno to this day says he blew it away! He asked Sue Bird on a Geno Legacy if she has finally forgiven him for that loss and she said it wasn't ALL his fault. UCONN was up 18 with several seconds left till 1/2 time and ND's Ratan hit a 3 to cut the lead to 15. On entering the locker room, Geno went nuts screaming and kicked a chair over. how could they allow her to make a 3? He went on for the full 15 minutes and some girls were crying others stunned as they went out for the 2nd 1/2! They preceded to give back the lead as DT finished shooting 1 for 15! But everyone stunk 2nd 1/2! Not having senior leaders Shea & Svet also hurt the leadership vacated big-time to settle them down! That game was for the championship as whoever won was going to beat Purdue or SMS in the finals! If UCONN had hung on they would have won 5 NCAA's in a row, winning 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004! IMHO, That 2000-2001 UCONN team was the greatest WCBB team ever! Even tho they didn't win the title! [/QUOTE]
