Message: [QUOTE="Bajan Best, post: 2523668, member: 7387"] This I believe is what happens when you go undefeated in the regular season the previous year, only to lose by 1 bucket in overtime with arguably the worst game you have played in about 4 years, Lose 1) player to graduation and gained 1) potential all American plus a recruiting class that that was the envy of almost everyone.... The expectation as noted by several other posters is complete dominance, especially considering what every other program has returned by comparison.. When Geno has the best talent, the expectation will always be that every game will be over by the end of the first quarter, We the spoiled fans will expect every player who has the talent to dominate, to continue doing that on a regular basis, and they are only allowed to have a bad half or quarter, never an entire game, Heaven forbid one or two games in a row.. :) We are now a reflection of the head coach in the sense that, it doesn't matter how much we are winning by, every play is expected to be executed with precision and purpose.. Otherwise, the team is not growing and therefore is open to ridicule.. How else can you motivate a team to strive to become better, when they have only lost two games in five years? Being good is for other programs, At UConn the expectation is Greatness. and fortunately or unfortunately over the last two decades, the fans have been trained to expect no less from UCONN.. :) [/QUOTE]
