Great to see the players "loose," but of course, it's not true that "they have nothing to lose." UConn has never been a program that's "just glad to be here." Just showing up and saying you played in the FF, in a program that's won 11 NCs, isn't the CT way. Even given the fact they weren't expected to get there this particular year -- even by some of us die-hard UConn fans -- is not the same thing as saying that now that they're there, it doesn't matter what happens. I'm sure Geno's not coaching the team that way.
Can't stand all the media hype right now to the effect that women's basketball has suddenly just burst on the scene, because.... Clark.
CT women's basketball has had a super-devoted fan base, and deep support for the game, for 30 years, because.... Geno. And all his many great players. How many superstar players have come through just our program alone, not to mention those of other programs over the years.... and just now, it's suddenly a sport worth watching?? Please. Enough already.
