Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2540234, member: 7492"] It is an interesting premise that Geno cares about getting Gabby a title though not sure he "cares" about Gabby more than Kia as both have been unbelievable teammates, players and people at UConn. To me, Geno knows he will always have a target on his back and has lived with that quite comfortably for the past 20+ years since he called out Tenn in 1995 and knows as the Keystone team of WCBB, he needs to champion and handle the expectations. This is all new territory for Dawn as she needed to elbow her way up the ladder and while she did use the "us against the world" stance for her team on trying to be a regular at the Final Four, this year she does have teams circling the calendar when they play SC. We here at BY know this is a top 8 program but will be lucky to get to a Final Four this year. Dawn may or may not know she is short on the talent scale and must find what ever edge she can to get this team back there to defend. I also think she has heard from more than a few naysayers that her title comes with an asterisk and that too rankles her. To me, not title comes with an asterisk, you beat who you play and control your destiny. Those that impune a title simply are a tad bitter or naive and I wish she would just smile and move on. Her Te'a Cooper stance is without merit as I have stated numerous times. I will be shocked if the NCAA allows her to play this year. I do see them granting a 6th year to play as she did have some unusual, though self-inflicted issues. [/QUOTE]
