We’re right where we wanna be.. It’s still a young team. In 2013, Stewie was making errors and the team was getting beaten, but it was a different story in March. And I don’t get all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over a close game that could’ve gone either way last time out

[@ranger-uw3gw]

Yep..alot of extremist Podcasters out there..never ceases to amaze me..these knee jerk reactors lol

[@Wennifer19]

GO UCONN!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@altonrandolph775]

All of the players have to shoot when they are open! Trust your training, make 80%+ free throws. 72 to 70 was lost on the free throw line.

[@Cocogirl44]

Yep, we shot about the same percentage from the free throw line as USC did from 3

[@richardjohnson7180]

The post players need to step up.Big time they clashed us two games already

[@mikebowers9481]

Better figure out the end of the game situations or we aren’t ever going to win close games. Young team I think (I hope) Geno and CD will get it figured out by March.

I'm always educated by Coach Geno's wise words but he'd be a more effective speaker if he could cut down on the 'you know's' when speaking.

UCONN’s recruiting in recent yrs has been frustratingly poor. Players like Ice Brady have been so unproductive and unreliable no rebounding or scoring . UCONN needs to fast track Janna El Alfy and Morgan Cheli.

[@Wennifer19]

When UConn was up, Geno should've called a time-out. This would've been a great psychological, mental, and emotional lift for UConn. This would've also given the team a rest (a breather) and a chance to draw out a plan to maintain the lead for the rest of the game

am really perplexed as to why team play is not a priority PB ia best when she manages the team and her passingfor screens and cuts is rather superior she is playing as though she is burdened by something serious or just out of sync with game plan GENO needs to counsel not dictate coach not confuse ---- with Sara / Chen /Ash running screens/cuts and stealing position when defense is consumed with who and where ---- GENO got the records now it is time to allow the ladies to shine and enioy the hell out of college !

[@fatgirlmagic4703]

I love that Geno saw that Azzi wasn't comfortable in the USC game and pulled her .Geno knows what he is doing . I belive in him and Azzi . Let's go Huskies. 🎉

Is Ice pretty fragile is an insane question. Not a fan of the psychoanalysis. I get it's UConn and there's a standard but once again not a fan.

[@TheDisruptiveOne]

I remember last year Geno mentioned how down on herself ice gets when she does something wrong. So, I do think her personality affects the way he coaches her.

I listen to your presser to know how you feel and what might happen with the team? So…….I don’t need to hear you Repeatedly say “you know, you know, you know, you know.” I don’t KNOW so just answer the questions with out telling me YOU KNOW?
