Geno mentioned the ACC trophy And asked how he could get one. Was that a dig to the Big East about their cheap trophies?

It’s not as bad as the PAC-12 one imo

 

[JordyG]

No, no it doesnt.

Why cant you just enjoy the win?

Still, I don't care if @Tonyc is right or wrong here. He's @Tonyc and he's allowed to say it.

If the selection committee doesn't think we are playing like the 6th best team now and put us in Bridgeport, I want some of what they are drinking.

Then you would on the same bad trip.

happy to see Azzi bounce back. CD as well. Not worried about PB. She was great the first game. Its tough to play 3 games in 3 days. even if shes not the superstar she was last year, I'm confident she'll positively contribute in the tourney.

The one person who never worries about Azzi is....AZZI! She is super confident & she has a shooter's mentality.

Nobody has mentioned it yet - but -

Keep wearing the throw back uniforms!!!!!! They are classier than the ones we have been wearing. And ditch the ugly grey ones.

Very proud to be a fan of this team.

And as for EW - I don't know if just me but she is wowing me more and more with everything.

Very nice of Fox to stay after the game and allow us to watch all the awards ceremonies and not cut away to other programming.

I for one would not mind if she returned next year. Yeah, I can dream too.

I appreciate FS1's extended coverage of this celebration. If this was on ESPN it would've been cutoff for bowling or racing.

You know what. I took some do do when I said UConn has the resume to be a 1 seed. I doubt they get it but there is no team playing at UConns level at this point in the season.

Resume means Body of Work Tony. Not what they did in their last games against the Big East. They lost a #1 seed quite a while ago.

I look at it this way. They beat a #1 seed in the Elite Eight and go into the FF confident and on a roll.

Great win. Hopefully, they find their 3pt shooting form for the NCAA tournament because there won't be as many layups once you go deeper in the tournament.

I'm indifferent about the throwbacks, but I agree - ditch the gray uniforms

 

[SARG 2011]

Great game, so happy for everyone but especially Dorka who will play in her first post season ever.

 

[SVCBeercats]

3 seed? I think not. Nobody with even the most questionable of credentials can project that anymore.

Louder! Charlie didn't hear you.

 

[psconn]

That was meant for the Villanova pep band

Ok, but that's a distinction without a difference IMO. Not fretting over it, though. Have fun, enjoy the much-deserved win. Lots of very hard work ahead.

I love that Geno stayed with a 9 player rotation. The team had as much energy in the final 5 minutes as the first 5 minutes, and they all showed they can contribute.

I don't know about you but Geno remembers the heroic efforts of his short-rotation teams from Gabby and Kia on but they were either getting exhausted by the FF or not fully healthy, having to deal with niggling injuries. So, if you have 9 good rotation players, use them and find a way to optimize their collective value playing together and coming into the game in waves......

I think he is relishing this "riches" for a change.....I hope he stays with it even in the FF, with slight changes should they run into challenging situations

 

[JordyG]

With all that's been said in the joy of this win, to me one of the most telling was that Azzi played 36 mins, AE played 31 minutes, and CW played 29. Geno still believes, in crunch time, in giving the most minutes to the players he trusts the most.

 

[GoUconn7961]

I don’t know why, but it bugs me so much that the AD has yet to congratulate the team. If it was the men’s team he’d be all over it. It really annoys me.

 

[Zorro]

AD ASTRA PER ASPERA!​

Very good point. Kudos, FS1!

Geno should by a duplicate, donate it to the BE and it shall forever be named the Geno Auriemma BE Tournament Championship Trophy.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Why do the Big East trophies look so cheap?

Sorry...this and your name made me laugh.

That speaks volumes about his view of Azzi.

WOOHOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, how I wish Alan Bestwick and Megan Culmo were covering these games. (For those of you I the rest of the country, they call the games for SNY.). They actually talk about what’s happening on the court—imagine that! I particularly hate it when the other networks cut to one of the losing players on the bench and keep the camera pointed there for an eternity while the announcers matter on. Tonight’s victim was Breanna Herlihy. A couple of years ago—famously—it was A’ja Wilson of SC. JUST STOP!
