Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 4181463, member: 656"] What concerns me (as noted earlier) is her complete absence of joy...Body language, facial expression, really negative...Couldn't have helped that Geno yelled at her (on camera) near the end. In the past, this was a very positive young woman; what's happened? I have no explanation and won't speculate. Speaking of general negativity, bad body language. and unhappy facial expression... The prize goes to Geno... He was really down in that interview, which should scare the bejesus out of all of us. There's going to be a day in which he says..."Why should I be so miserable?" "I've accomplished enough...time to hang it up." I predicted a less than stellar game for Caroline (sometime) with my "sainthood" quip. Well, last night it happened when she attempted to "show off" in front of family and friends...But you know, This is one kid I'm not worried about. Watching UConn this season is a different experience from the past...Rarely do you see the "beautiful basketball" for which the team is renowned. Perhaps what Paige brings and the coach's use of it had the effect of stunting the growth of other players. We put some mighty fine young woman out there yesterday, they won the game...but the reaction here is almost worse had they lost...our keen observers know...this is not the UConn BB of the past that so spoiled us. An insightful poster noted that the best player on the floor wore a different colored uniform, another spoke of other team's hoping to catch us while we're down. I'm sure that every team that plays us, no matter how lowly, is thinking: this is our chance to upset mighty UConn, a chance we may never get again...and do you think the opposing coaches are not delivering exactly that pre-game speech? And so we're getting their best, while our best is in mothballs, only rarely to be seen. [/QUOTE]
