Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 2038444, member: 961"] I'm with you. If there was a shred of logic in Culmo's remarks, I failed to catch it.Sure, Geno was talking about the benefit of losing, but that was a the start of the season, when they perhaps might have been helped by seeing what they really needed to do to win a championship. I'm not convinced he would really like to see them drop the SC game this late in the season. After all, it now is easy for them to see what they need to do to win a championship: Keep doing what they have been doing. This team is far from perfect, but its accomplishments to date have been pretty damn good. A couple of weeks ago I watched the first UConn victory over Tennessee. It was thrilling and full of wonderful moments for any UConn fan, but it also demonstrated how error-prone that team could be. They would do something wonderful and then bang! Something stupid would happen -- a dumb foul or an errant pass. In other words, as much as we think fondly about those guys, they were anything but perfect, too. As for the media types. I think Dan Shaughnessey, who started that nonsense (or at least was the most outspoken purveyor of it) is still under his rock. TV types seem to be playing it up as something positive. Since she's the opponent's coach, anything Dawn says is suspect, anyway. [/QUOTE]
