[INDENT]What a 10-day block this is becoming. Down go the Huskies! They were challenged by St. John’s in St. Thomas. They didn’t land any top recruiting targets for the first time in … forever. They’re underdogs Sunday against an Irish team that bounced them from the Final Four. They’re a top-heavy team lacking depth. [/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“What can I say? It’s over,” said coach [URL='https://www.courant.com/topic/sports/basketball/geno-auriemma-PESPT008432-topic.html']Geno Auriemma[/URL], who has 1,033 victories and 11 national championships in 33-plus years of coaching wave after wave of All-Americans and All-WNBA players.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]Yup, it’s all over, everything we have come to expect as much as appreciate over the past quarter century.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]Sarcasm can be difficult to detect in print. It is not from Auriemma, who smiled often in a Wednesday night press conference as he lent perspective to a panic-filled discussion of the Huskies’ demise, given that they whiffed on top high school players such as Aliyah Boston and Haley Jones, the consensus No. 1 player in the Class of 2019 who announced hours earlier that she would attend Stanford.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
