Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2444415, member: 5798"] Nevada did UConn a favor in more ways than one. Yes, they facilitated UConn for Gabby's homecoming game, but they also gave the Huskies a very competitive game that did in fact get then ready for Notre Dame this Sunday. I certainly did not see that one coming. It was the highest-ranked team that Nevada ever played and the game drew 7,815 fans-the most in state history for a women's game. [B]Nevada played its first nationally televised game in program history. [/B]The previous highest-ranked team Nevada played was then-No. 4 Louisiana Tech in 1987. This game will certainly give the Wolfpack something to build on. I thought their game was as competitive as UCLA's. That's why the starters played as many minutes as they did. Geno was not happy with what he was seeing. These three games give the coaching staff plenty of "fodder" to use in pointing out their errors in judgment and execution. I have no doubt these things will be addressed and cleaned up in practice this week. The team will be ready for the Irish when they roll into town this weekend. [B] In case you missed it - [/B]this is the kind of pressure Nevada put on the the Huskies all night. The warrior in Kia boiled over, and she responded with a team high of 27 points. The refs should have called 2 fouls on this play. One on each defensive player grabbing her from either side. Nevada went down, but they went down fighting and scrapping (but clean, no chipping), just the way their coach wanted to see them play. No one can accuse the Wolkpack of laying down and kissing UConn's rings. :) [IMG]http://ww1.hdnux.com/photos/67/62/23/14623964/3/1024x1024.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
