5 injured players on the bench this is Genos Greatest Coaching Season and maybe in all of BB history

But, Geno isn't one of the finalists for Coach of the Year... How can that be??

 

[Kaizen]

Agree 100%. Nobody believes we can go so far. Go Husky ~~~~

Not a woman.

To be clear, none of those finalists could have done what he did. His most desrving year ever.

 

[Vowelguy]

Um no. This isn’t even in the top 5.

 

[HuskyinWRNY]

Awesome, just awesome!

 

[HuskyNan]

Um no. This isn’t even in the top 5.

Gotta agree. Gutsiest, most heart-warming, most surprising, yes.

 

[UCTitleTown]

Sweet Sixteen was a reasonable expectation and they're in the Final Four. Amazing job by the players and coaches to persevere in a crazy season. All gravy from here out. Already a great season.

 

[CTBballfan243]

Nice job by the team and coaching staff. Nice to see.

4 down, 2 to go. Uconn has handled Iowa 4 times in the past few years, even with Clark, we won going away. This team has arrived and playing their best BB this year. S. Cal put up a fight, but fell short. I said it before and I'll say it again..... I BELIEVE!!!!!!! I also believe that No. Carolina will beat S. Carolina in the FF and Uconn will beat N. Carolina in the championship game. I BELIEVE!!!! GO FRESHMEN!!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!! GO PAIGE !!!! GO AALIYAH !!!!!!

 

[msf22b]

impossible to disagree.
Go Tony!

 

[uconnfan68]

Which ones were better? He dealt with more adversity the past 3 years than in the first 35-36.

First of all the greatest win for a championship program is winning a championship.

1) 1995 NC. The first.
2) 2000 NC. Proved that was no fluke, and bashed Tenn.
3) 2003 NC. The miracle Diana year.
4) 2013 NC. Finally beat ND, and started the 4-peat.
5) 1991 E8. Maybe this Geno guy knows what he’s doing.

I could go on.

How about that title game where both UConn and ND came in undefeated??

Tony--here's a reminder from Liya and Nika: We're not done yet!

 

[ABCDFE]

Man just watching Nika give it her all. She’s tasked with the toughest defensive assignments and has to play the entire game. The exertion and exhaustion that she displays, man just so inspiring. We will miss her.

You’re entitled to your opinion. I didn’t expect to lose any of the games you mentioned. This was a brutal game, terrible calls, and after another brutal game. I thought they just willed themselves to win. I had no expectations after that Duke game.

5 injured players on the bench this is Genos Greatest Coaching Season and maybe in all of BB history

Not five: Fudd, Patterson, El, Caroline, Griffin, DeBerry.

However, in my personal opinion, this is not the greatest win, although it can be argued it’s Geno’s greatest coaching accomplishment under the adverse circumstances. I can think of a few that I would rank ahead of it, including the win against Tennessee in 95.

I just went to the ESPN home page.

Jeez put a dual pic of CC and PB!

ESPN still sucks.

 

[Hayven]

It’s not the greatest win. But this season will make for a great movie in 20-25 years

 

[Bomber36]

Undoubtedly, one of the gutsiest performances I’ve ever seen in the sport of basketball.

 

[dtbtbtb]

I don't know about the best game ever but for sure the most amazing job Geno did so far. This team (after the injuries) is too small, too inexperienced, limited number of players, etc. and somehow, he was able to get this team to the final 4. It clearly helps to have a generational player and a real tough and determined group of players but Geno's coaching this year is absolutely amazing!

It's N. Carolina State not N. Carolina, but you may be correct in their beating S. Carolina.

 

[MSGRET]

Is Geno now only 3 games behind Tara on the number of wins or 4 games?

 

[MSGRET]

I just went to the ESPN home page.

Jeez put a dual pic of CC and PB!

ESPN still sucks.

I hope Nika does a number on CC again this year and UConn moves on to the NC game.

 

[Bills Fan]

Man just watching Nika give it her all. She’s tasked with the toughest defensive assignments and has to play the entire game. The exertion and exhaustion that she displays, man just so inspiring. We will miss her.

And she is putting that all time Husky assist record in a place where no one else will ever go.

 

[Forego]

Not a woman.

To be clear, none of those finalists could have done what he did. His most desrving year ever.

Additionally, if Geno won the award it would set back the NCAA’s pursuit of parity eight years. That would be bad for women’s basketball.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

Just amazing with five down. Congrats to the players and their coaches.

Come on Tony. You of all people. It's 6 injured players on the bench.
