There’s always an element of competitiveness,” said Auriemma, whose team has beaten the Bulls by an average of 31.3 points since 2013-14. “You always want to be playing teams that are at their best. You play teams that are short-handed, the wins still matter and they still go on your record and all that, but … kids are competitors, they want to compete. They want to play against the other team’s best players and they want to challenge themselves. “It’s just unfortunate, it really is.” I suspect the bench will get substantial time and hopefully do something with it. Oh, and a moment of levity involving Lou and rebounds: "Samuelson put the onus on herself to be more than just a scorer after two of the team’s best rebounders, Azura Stevens and Gabby Williams, departed this past offseason. She already has five double-doubles after recording just one over her first three seasons. “It’s kind of a joke, I feel like, since my freshman year that I don’t rebound at all,” Samuelson said Wednesday, following her 23-point, 10-rebound performance in an 82-38 rout of Cincinnati. “I think (coach Geno Auriemma) said one time I got one more than a dead person because I had one rebound.
