Message: [QUOTE="BigBird, post: 3090623, member: 4247"] While I understand your sentiment here, I’d remind that it isn’t UConn’s job to keep UConn from scoring. If insulting the opponent is the issue, I’d suggest that the biggest disrespect one could do is showing your oponent that they are no longer worthy of your competitive best. And if we are going to under-compete, how does the opponent get better by learning from play when the team with the “safe” lead mostly quits? This is reminiscent of the silly bit in baseball where the batter gets a homer, but the pitcher thinks he has a right to throw at somebody’s head because he was “shown up” (whatever the heck that means). You don’t want to see a slow HR trot, then don't groove a 3-2 fast ball. In hoops, if you can’t tolerate losing by 50, then deal with it...by getting better. [/QUOTE]
