I did not hear a defeatist attitude at all. Maybe, in the moment, frustration. Geno has a vision for this team on how to play commensurate with other successful versions. Prior to Paige going down and having other injured players, we all could see that UConn wasn’t in sync. In press conferences, he inferred and sometimes emphatically stated that only Paige was playing in the style he wanted. With the injuries, and especially without her presence, it‘s exacerbated.

Now, the sky is falling. Does anybody question if Bill Bellichick is a coaching genius? No, in fact, he is currently lauded for the success the team is enjoying this season. However, let’s not forget that the Pats & Tom Brady went 10 years between Super Bowl victories.

The sky isn’t falling. UConn has been gut punched. Usually, it takes time to gather your wind and composure. Before everyone reaches conclusions, let’s sort out the next few weeks or month to see if the current play is the new norm or to quote the Roman poet Horace, “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.”
