Why don't they ever have printed post-game quotes anymore on the UCONN site for the women? They do, occasionally for the men.

They seem to ONLY do it for home games - no idea why since the transcripts are produced from every PC, but Uconn never loads the road ones to the site and I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with 'copyright'.
 
This is the best thing that could have happened to us- I think we will win this game by 20+~ I think it may be 25 pts. I think we will be so high but composed tonite- the program will shine and we will exploit our strengths all night.
 
Muffet explains per Richard Deitsch at SI:

"We don't have a relationship," McGraw said. "I think that (the civility) got lost. When we were in the same conference (the Big East) I think there was a modicum of it but I think after beating them and not feeling any respect from that, we lost something."

ND beat UConn and UConn didn't given them enough respect. I'd be curious what Geno should have said or done that would have shown respect? I'd love for someone to ask her what proper respect would have looked and sounded like? Most people who complain about a lack of respect have trouble answering that question.

Pure BS on Muffet's part. Respect is earned, not given. Geno gave plenty of credit to ND during their streak against us.

I sort of agree with Geno on this - no reason to have rival coaches be best buds and pretty hard to accomplish when you are playing 4 times a year in an intense rivalry. So ... I have no problem with Muffet throwing zingers or playing the disrespect card, or trying to play the refs on fouls. Coaches do that.

I do have a problem with the 'tension in the room' and lack of acknowledgement of a 19 yr old kid in an 'unsurprising' award ceremony. Unsurprising in that everyone in that room knew who was winning what award before they walked in.

I completely agree with this post, especially that which I have highlighted. I have always seen McGraw as a wanna be (and for lack of a better term) whiner, not getting the attention she (felt she) wanted or deserved. Grace is a virtue, and I do not believe that she has any grace in her coat pockets, or if so, she has shown very little of it over the years. She has coached a good squad, but I believe that it is also about sportsmanship. GOOD sportsmanship.

Say goodbye Pat and hello Muffet.

Then again, I hope not ( for there is always hope). Perhaps she will take a good look in the mirror and see the world for what it is (and over which we have little control) and change her mind about a few things...oh, and perhaps achieve a little grace.

Pat was gracious especially after the 2000 NC when she addressed our team and congratulated them on playing a great game. She was holding in a lot of anger when Geno would push her buttons. Geno was partly to blame for the rift. With Muffett, it's all on her. They beat us 7 out of 9 and for the last 12 years could not win a championship. That's their fault. I think she's especially miffed we won last year when Baylor was knocked out and it would have been a clear path for them. Having a good program is commendable but for good or bad, people count championships.

How miserably pubescent. I remember going through that... it was rough what with all the fiery emotional outbursts, new hair and pimples...

Muffet plain and simply has acted like a clown for awhile now. Class is something you either have or don't. There are plenty of other top teams to play ooc games with to keep our competition level up. I actually hope she does cancel the series. No problem playing them in the tournament only and beating them there.

I'm not a fan of Tennessee or Pat Summitt, but Muffet will never be at Pat's level. Pat did more for the game than Muffet can dream of, never mind the disparity in championships won.

Se we disrespected them by not letting them win the NC they deserved after beating us 3 times last year?
 
Respect is earned....it comes naturally. If you do not think you are getting deserved respect, beat your rivalry and that would be the best revenge. Even if Geno does not respect ND (big assumption, as he always praised ND team after losing out to them.) while the rest WBB respect your ND team greatly, you should not be disappointed. Being a cry baby is not a good motivation tool for your team.
When Diana Taurasi lost NPOY to Duke player one year, did you hear Geno being uncivilized about it? Geno and UConn are not in that voting process. Looks like Muffet vented out the frustration over AP voting to the wrong people this time.

You have no idea what the start was.

If anything, it goes all the way back to the 2011 F4 and Bruszewki's (alleged) comment.

I did say in my first post it was my guess. That implies not knowing for sure.

What is the over-all record of Notre Dame vs UConn something like 31 and 10.

Given the context that everyone knew beforehand who was getting the award, ND's players occupying the front row disapprovingly seems like poor middle school behavior.

They will receive their payback on the court tonight
