Chong--on the first game and last year.

The bottom line is Geno wanted Nurse to win the starting job all along, so let's stop the nonsense. Chong has very little margin for error. He threw Chong under the bus after the Stanford game. Nobody else but Chong.

Carnac, Carnac...is that you doing your mind reading about what Geno wants? What Geno wants, Geno gets and he does not give a gnat's wing about fans bitching over something like Nurse starting the Stanford game rather than Saniya if that is what he wanted. As far as the notion that Saniya became the fall guy for Stanford, that objectively is just not so. He pointed to all the guards as having a defensive lapse. SNY ran a behind the scenes video (or maybe it was one of the 3 ESPN specials) where Geno addressed the bunch of them - the whole team - about lazy defense and expecting somebody else "to do it" after the Stanford game.

Courant reporting post-game Geno remarks after Stanford loss:

"It seems like there is much work to be done. Auriemma opened his postgame comments by saying that his guards were outplayed and that Stanford's defensive strategy of harassing Stewart paid off simply because no one scored enough to make it hurt.

"When someone does a really good job defensively on someone, it's usually a two-pronged situation," Auriemma said. "Kaleena didn't get the movement we needed to get [to support Stewart]."

Stewart scored 23 points. She was a large reason that the Huskies led by 10 with 6:32 to play. But other than Chong, who added 20 and was largely spared Auriemma's whip because of it, no one stepped up to support Stewart."
