Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 2430446, member: 6931"] Completely on point as usual, oldude. After the Cal game, I posted that the Huskies' X-factors this season are shaping up to be defense and pace of play. Both of these elements were on full display last night. I really liked that Geno sat his bench for the entire game. The primary intent I think was to drive home the much-needed point that you will not get playing time on this team if you don't play defense hard or practice hard. But another benefit of that was to test the fitness and endurance of his starters in a difficult environment comparable to that of last year's semi-final. Time and time again last night, I saw Geno gesture to his guards to speed it up as they were advancing the ball, especially during the forth quarter when Kia and Crystal were clearly gassed . Each time, they responded. So exciting to see these new facets in the team's play, because that is how championships are won. [/QUOTE]
