Message: [QUOTE="OldSchooler, post: 4256420, member: 11804"] Coach Abe complained about having to take her team to Storrs, even though she conceded they were prepared at least as well as any other visitor to play on that court. She started out with an end-around on that same theme, complaining that the committee had matched UCF against another Florida school, which somehow should have entitled UCF to another venue. But she indicated she would have been just as disappointed had UCF been sent to Iowa City, in her old conference. Hey coach, a #7 doesn't get to pick and choose. To her credit, she didn't take the twice-offered bait from a hometown reporter about UConn getting away with flopping. She also implied that because UCF outplayed UConn on the floor (35%/50% to 30%/33%), the game was somehow taken away from her at the foul line. Well, when your game plan is rough & tumble, you're going to hear a lot of whistles. And if her gals had done better than 10-for-20 from the line, maybe they would have won. [/QUOTE]
