Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 4750770, member: 55"] It's really hard to judge "caring" from the stands. I can tell you from my side of the field that the UConn bench looks engaged each and every game (until it gets out of hand). They don't come out just waiting for the hammer to fall on them. But does the defense fly around every play with 11 guys chasing the ball even if it's unlikely they will get near it? Like we saw Duke do? Heck no. And the results (and I don't just mean wins and losses) from units that returned such an overwhelming number of starters on both sides of the ball don't show caring. But sometimes a team is just off mentally for whatever reason. Heck, I didn't think we played anywhere near like we should have been playing for 7 games in 2010, and then a light switch went on under the lights against WVU and we won 5 straight and got to a Fiesta Bowl. So bottom line is it certainly feels like you are 100% right, but I try to be cautious judging a team's mentality because we just don't know. [/QUOTE]
