Did Magic invent that?
Don‘t need an outlet pass. That much quicker to get up the floor

Speaking of pretty remarkable, that was an unrehearsed cold answer to a question in the Presser after the gamer. He just rattled that stuff off. Kudos to the people matching it up to some vid.

Thank you Oracle9 for the video. If the team sees this video, which I hope they do, they deserved GENO's praise for the effort they have put out to preserve UCONN's legacy as the best BB woman' team for the last 35 years and counting. I have been a fan since 2013 and the UCONN women have given me a lifetime of joy and thrills with their skills and grit. GO HUSKIES!!!!

I'm with Geno............No matter whether this year's team gets back to the Final Four or not, I'm incredibly proud of the effort and commitment of this group........
I wonder, how many championships are “the best team won” and how many are “teams of destiny”. Somehow the ball finds the bottom of the net.

If it’s YOUR year, it’s your year. Whether you’re the best team or not. The best team does not always win. If it’s not, it’s not. Not matter how bad you want it, think you deserve it, or feel it’s your destiny, only one team hoists the championship trophy, and cuts down the nets. Everyone else goes home unfulfilled.

I agree. They are true warriors. Love the spirit. And never will they quit. So as a fan I too will never quit. Go Huskies.

Some years ago, Mason Cooley said "Necessity makes heroes of us all". These Magnificent Seven are the living proof of that aphorism. Each and everyone, to the best of their ability, keeping the UConn standard flying high. I couldn't be prouder of these kids!
The Lou/Pheesa sophomore year / Gabby/Kia junior year perfectly showed this to be true. They were the best team all year, exceeded expectations after Stewie Mo and Tuck left and then BAM a once in a lifetime performance and they are out. It just wasn’t in their destiny to win it that year. Will always sting that one. That group deserved it but it wasn’t meant to be.If it’s YOUR year, it’s your year. Whether you’re the best team or not. The best team does not always win. If it’s not, it’s not.

Nice!
When I think of GOATS in any sport, I always think about who their epic competition was. Like you said necessity.
Ali had Frazier, then a young Foreman. Tyson nobody. Marciano?
Jordan? An aging Bird, Magic, even Isiah. Karl Malone, Sir Charles, nah.
Russell? Chamberlain. Are you kidding? He was a comic book character. Russell- GOAT all day.
I tell you what, we got a nice villain here- SC women.
Yes that is correct @HuskyNan . Thought the media team did a nice tribute matching GAs words to video.
Yes the media team has been on point. I always give them kudos on their posts. I think the team needed to hear that.

Thanks, Nan! You're right about Shazam, but I was watching this video on my phone and the video stops playing when I go to open Shazam. Wasn't near a computer to play the video on. Thanks again!

This team has been battered and bruised since November. Like a bad penny, they keep coming back. How can you not cheer and support this team? Geno said THIS team has endured things no other UConn team has that he's coached in his 38 years. THAT should tell you something. Remember, he said they're all tired.............mentally and physically, yet they keep answering the bell on game days.
I can't fault or criticize a team/players that are going through what this team is.

Great video... but the lyrics to the song.... Maybe I am old fashioned but that is not a song I would play in front of children... and children are a huge fan base.... Why can't we use songs with appropriate language?
Exactly. That's the theme of the day.This team has been battered and bruised since November. Like a bad penny, they keep coming back. How can you not cheer and support this team?

Sick bay is sick bay. We love them and pull for them too. But like Coach Dale said after Raf's ill-advised deviation from team principles, "my team's on the floor". Come on guys, snap out of it. Like going to a really great film and half the audience walks out not really understanding what happened.
