UConn-UCF postgame press conference

[PAHuskeyFan]

I didn’t say they weren’t overly aggressive and fouled a lot but this game was not close to how dirty the game was where they almost Ended KLS ‘a career.

@Fossil the Game where KLS got kneed in the lower back was actually her Senior Day Game against Houston.... not UCF.

Perhaps Fossil was thinking of this game. Make sure you have the sound on, although it is distorted a bit. By the way way there should be a 2nd tweet below that one where KLS tells the UCF player look at the score.

Here is the 2nd tweet/video

Tho one where she got elbowed in the ribs crossing the lane each time. In some other thread someone actually had the date of the game so the back injury was a different game in a different time. There was definitely a UCF game that was brutal and dirty and Lou was the recipient of it.

There was a UCF game where Lou scored double figures, but didn’t have a single field goal. All her points were from the foul line. In defending Lou, UCF came at her, not with their hands up, but with their arms extended out towards Lou’s head. They probably hit Lou in the head or face ten times or so, not all of which were called.

Back injury was Senior day. Lou missed the AAC tournament that year, 2019, but returned for the NCAA Tournament.

UCF’s coach is still upset with Geno because one or two years
ago, we were up like 20+ so Geno put his whole bench players in .
Geno was upset with her and told her why did you decide to press
with little time left.

I'm pretty sure they are both adults and got over it. Something folks on this board could use some practice in.

Next time if a team plays with UCF and if they lose, they have the right reason not to shake hands with UCF ....

She was gracious in many ways,

Yeah, on second watch and including the Q&A, I thought she did pretty well. I really don't think it's fair to thrust cameras and mics at someone that just lost a tough game but I understand it's part of the deal. It's generally impressive that more people don't just flat out embarass themselves in that situation.

So much energy spent on the opposing coach (who cares ), I am more concerned with Geno's assessment of Paige and what he expects going forward in the Tournament. (around 35' mark). He does not expect Paige to be the Paige of last year. Yes, she has great moments but he does not expect her to play at the highest level.

Hopefully, this is more psychological games but you can see that while she must feel pretty confident physically getting into the scrum for example and playing 32 minutes, she is not seeing the floor the same. The clearest example to me and something Geno said after the Mercer game is that she is not finding quick connections with the post players (not that they are helping) . I think she is most comfortable connecting with Azzi and being connected to the guards on the perimeter

Hopefully, another several days of practice can help.

Obviously, the people that posted about the opposing coach care or they wouldn't have posted about it. Complete lack of respect for other poster's thoughts. Should they only post what you're concerned with? It's free press and an open forum, my friend. Don't tell people what they should or shouldn't post about based on YOUR preferences. Don't like what's being written? Don't read it. Problem solved.

Hence the drive by handshakes after Monday’s game
