Geno recently commented that 40 min in a game is less taxing on a UConn player than a two hour practice. In October they have 3 of those a week and no one is "clutching pearls" then because it's out of our sight. He went on to say that the players like this part of the season more than October-December, when there is a lot more practicing than playing. UConn practices are designed to teach you to play at a high level after exhaustion has set in. The games are what all the practice is about. 
   As far as any mental fatigue, it is usually freshmen that get it. UConn's starting 5 have 20 seasons of experience. The Vill game was a hangover from Tenn.  Horston laid a bigger egg than did Senechal. Vill is a really good team and they had a week to get ready. It's a one off. Getting tired? Isn't that what competitive sports are all about?  Who said the greatest feeling was laying on the ground at the end of a contest, totally exhausted ... and victorious?
