Message: [QUOTE="sharris952, post: 2557780, member: 7956"] Dawn's timeout really had to do with a body language that she saw from a couple of players on the defensive end in the 2nd qtr. She rarely takes a timeout because she usually wants them to play through their struggles. Aja, did have her second bad game of the week as she admitted, but prior to that comment she gave extreme credit to UConn' team, execution and talent. She knows it because she has played with most of the girls on UConn's team. I think Dawn had no idea of how they would play because of the youth of most of this team and the fact that the original starting lineup has not been together in weeks. The best shooter (Spann) is still sidelined, and Harrigan is not yet at full strength after just returning from injury. I do think the Mizzou thing bothered her personally because she seemed distracted this week leading up to the game. Nevertheless, it is a loss they will learn from and move on. Given what they lost last year, that could have returned, they are still in a positive direction moving forward. These young girls are getting more time than in year's past on Dawn's teams thus their development will proceed quicker and with the girls that return next year who are injured and cannot play, and the incoming talent, the future still points upwards. I would like to know any UConn fan that attended the game, to speak of the fan atmosphere and crowd, given the misrepresentation by the Mizzou AD earlier this week? I noticed that Geno had a different take on our crowd that the Mizzou AD. [/QUOTE]
