Message: [QUOTE="cohenzone, post: 2633133, member: 504"] I was responding to a poster who suggested Geno hadn’t slowed it down. He obviously didn’t understand that when one team constantly shoots before 10 seconds run off the clock, you can only slow down so much unless you decide to not shoot at all before the clock expires. When I said Geno isn’t crazy about that type of game, I’m saying he knows that other than getting rid of whatever rust they might have had, the game did pretty much nothing to force them to play D. He understands that the score was abnormal and came out that way because the other coach felt like entertaining the home crowd with a style that is suicidal against UConn with the talent differential. He basically said I’m not going to bother messing with our style to try and oppose because I think it’s not worth it. After the first 5-6 minutes it wasn’t a basketball game and other than doing what they felt like on O, it was a talent show It was Globtrotters vs Washington Generals. I love this team, The best thing about the game was Megan Walker. I hope GA feels more comfortable about making her part of the equation just to give a few of the starters more rest. Ditto Tamara who seems past her leg issues and could give Collier a bit more rest. Granted the opposition was non existent, but Megan has had a few decent games against good teams. Maybe her confidence is there. I’m not against routs, but I also think I understand how routs happen. Softball isn’t basketball and the 94 first half points was not UConn’s problem but the other team didn’t bother using outfielders against a team of home run hitters. [/QUOTE]
