Message: [QUOTE="TouchdownHusky, post: 4275828, member: 1278"] Let UConn fans not overreact and be critical. There was a lot to be impressed with tonight. The Huskies played harder than SC all game long. They played at a faster pace. Every ball on the floor, every contested rebound ended up in the Huskies hands. UConn was a balanced team with scoring contributions from everyone on the floor tonight, not just Bueckers. So how was SC too shutdown an offense where everyone was making their shots? And Geno was outdoing Jim Calhoun at his fieriest, calling a timeout 60 seconds into the game to pull the starters off the floor. He made JC seem subdued the way he stomped and hollared at his team when it seemed that SC might get the odd rebound or loose ball. No, Geno, had them hustling at a frenetic pace and he wasn't gonna take his foot off the peddle, not for a minute. And, all game long his sideline body language "screamed" that this would be a war for the entire 40 minutes, in sharp contrast to that of a dejected and resigned Dawn Staley walking the sideline with her head down. Why he even was working the officials ripping them a "new one" for their contributions as SC's 6th, 7th and 8th players. You sure didn't see that from Dawn Staley. She just didn't seem hungry enough for that. Nope, turns out it was just the lucky bounce and the extra rebound or 25 that conspired against the Huskies. [/QUOTE]
