Big East tournament is not enough, Regionals is not enough, Super Regionals is not enough.’ But I want you guys to know that you guys are always enough for me. Whatever you’re about, it’s always been enough for me. They need to know that. They left it all out on the field.” Penders said there was disappointment “to a man” that the Huskies came so close. “We felt the state behind us, we didn’t want to disappoint anybody. We felt like we had the team to do it. One days’ perspective here, Stanford was the better team, we should take no shame in losing to a fine opponent. What makes it so difficult is that we were just that one step away. We needed to play our ‘A’ game on Sunday or Monday, and we didn’t do that. That’s what’s a gut-punch. But at the same time, there wasn’t anybody that didn’t try as hard as they could to win that game.” <- ->You feel disappointed that we came up short of the destination we all had in mind,” the coach said. “But also feel fueled for next year, to do our best to get back. If we can do it with two returning position players, why can’t we do it with four or five returning position players? I know that’s the spirit that was on the charter flight home.” UConn will also add some talented players to the mix, several of them through the transfer portal as well as some talented, Connecticut-born incoming freshman, including Xavier’s Drew Kron, St. Paul’s Ryan Daniels and Coginchaug’s Kolby Pascarelli.<- [/QUOTE]
