Remember, traditionally after the Xmas break the next game starts rather sloppy then turns much better later on as they get used to each other again in game conditions!
Great point. I remember last year, coming out the gate after Christmas Break against Marquette. Marquette was ranked in the Top 20. We started slow and as the game progressed, we rounded into shape. UConn Basketball.

In the past, Geno has said that this time of year between semesters is rough, as there's no traditional routine, and the players were living in a hotel as dorms/apts were closed during break. No idea if the latter is still true, but none of the typical rhythm of going to class and practices was a bit crazy.

I remember a time not too long ago when Geno forbade social media use (and even longer when there was no social media) during the season. I realize that it is ubiquitous with today's college students, sort of like breathing, but maybe, just maybe, he might have had something there!

Another of those practice videos that features 100% shooting efficiency by UConn. Perhaps @msf22b can advise us what classical music was playing in the background? (Sounded like a string quartet to me ...)
