Geno keeping up with the psychology It also probably should not have been surprising that the Huskies were slotted at No. 2 behind South Carolina in the Associated Press preseason poll released Tuesday. Coming off their 13th consecutive NCAA Final Four appearance, the Huskies return their starting lineup and welcome Ohio State transfer Dorka Juhasz and a highly-rated recruiting class led by Azzi Fudd. Auriemma was surprised, but not in the way you might think. “I’m not even sure how we are No. 2,” he said. “Doesn’t Stanford have everyone back from a national championship team? They lost a point guard. So what. I remember we lost a point guard (Renee Montgomery in 2009) one year and we were still No. 1 the following year. We should probably be like fourth or fifth.” [B]That caught Christyn Williams by surprise. The senior guard rolled her eyes when told of her team’s ranking. “He said that? Really?” Williams said. “He’s always so hard on us. Why is he always so hard on us? Why did he say that, did he give a reason? “I have no words.”[/B] [/QUOTE]
