Auriemma said practices are often more taxing than games so players need to pace themselves, but [B]without having a game to look forward to they can forget about that and overexert themselves."[/B] "Coming off a long break with a starter returning from illness, playing a 3-6 Oklahoma team might seem like an easy task for UConn’s fast-paced offense and improving defense, but Auriemma said he’s expecting a competitive game. “They’ve struggled at times, but the one thing that they always do is they compete really, really hard," Auriemma said. “Ever since we started playing them that’s been the case all the time. … They’ve always competed really, really hard. They’ve always made it difficult for anybody...” The lasagna? Where does that come in? The Christmas break: “I just want a home-cooked meal, that’s all," Williams said of her Christmas list. "I really miss my mom’s cooking. Her lasagna is undefeated.” The kid is just fun. [/QUOTE]
