There have been so many times this season where these guys could have gotten down and hung their heads for good but they keep coming back and keep fighting regardless of the previous game. I was nervous after those two rough games vs USF and Cincy. I thought things were in danger of spiraling out of control for a moment there. Then the 4 games in a row by 17 combined points including two overtime losses. A weaker team would have wilted by that point. But Dan Hurley's culture of toughness is shining through and I think we are starting to see the dividends on the court. I still think there are some growing pains but one thing is for sure, this team has grown!
I think even today when Cincy got that late 4 point lead (60-56), they could have shrugged their shoulders and said "Here we go again" and a lot of teams, having experienced what UConn has, may very well have done that. But they finally got it done in the closing minutes and I am hoping this is the start of a special final month or so.
