Message: [QUOTE="AndyCT, post: 1984550, member: 2064"] [FONT=Arial]You speak more truth then you know. In my Navy days we always felt that you learned more by making mistakes and learning what didn't work, what went wrong, than you do by having everything work out. Finding your weaknesses and faults can be invaluable - though obviously you don't always want to be screwing up in the name of "learning". Unfortunately for USF the stars aligned badly last night...a relatively young team, with little cumulative experience against UConn on a night when Saniya and the rest of the Duds were perhaps just a little more "up" than normal. And sometimes a team's strengths just exactly line up with another team's weaknesses and there isn't anything that can be done. It hasn't happened recently, but long term fans can remember games that got away from UConn where Geno, instead of ranting and raving on the bench, just sat back and smiled. It happens. Just not in the last 90 games. So, the morning after, while some fans are basking in the afterglow, and a few unfortunately even gloating, I'll remind myself USF is a legitimate challenger that has been on a closing trajectory (didn't Debbie Antonella say something about catching a UConn last year?) and that the score of last nights game doesn't represent the growth that the USF program has achieved. And I'll remember that UConn has made a lot of very good programs look bad on a given night over the years.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
