Message: [QUOTE="Ralph, post: 4181664, member: 7048"] For me the defining play was the last drive by Providence which resulted in a score with about 5 seconds left. The Providence player raced up court with the ball and all the UConn Players either waived at her as she went by, or waiving was too much of an effort and they just looked at her as she went by, and she scored an uncontested layup. Yes, that was a BS play by Providence, but if you are trained to be relentless all game long, then the UConn players should have said until you give up, we play hard. Instinct should have said play hard defense. That is killer "instinct". That also says when you are up 17 with 3 to go, you play hard and try to close out a 20 point win. We seemed to stop playing defense and coast. Can you imagine Kia Nurse coasting? Gabby? Stewie, Morgan and Moriah? If our players are going to coast, put Piath and Amari in, let them pick up some playing time and see if they play hard. [/QUOTE]
