DaddyC , I was thinking the same thing when Burt started out...........Very somber. I know he and Duquesne were looking for a better showing. And from how they started out I think they would have beaten some other teams out there in the 2nd round. They just had the misfortune of running into a focused UConn team.UConn make these coaches sound like they're giving eulogies
Duquesne A CLASSY TEAM - THIS IS what women's basketball is ABOUT !!!Thanks Wbbfan1 for posting this. Robinson and Workman and their team played their hearts out so kudos to them.

Duquesne did play good defense..............UConn just played better offense.Workman "think they played well on defense . . . " !!! UConn shot better than 50% and scored 97 points. What would it have been like if they didn't play well?
I wonder which of Stewie's blocks he was livid about? They looked pretty clean to me. I guess it must be some conspiracy over many years and hundreds of games officiated by just as many crews that allows UConn opponents to not get to the free throw line as much as they feel they should. Perhaps they would have won the game if only it were called fairly?
Yea, that one crossed my mind too. I figured at that point she was done with the interview and was just reaching for some cliches.Workman "think they played well on defense . . . " !!! UConn shot better than 50% and scored 97 points. What would it have been like if they didn't play well?
Sluconn , do you think it might have been Focus and Intensity building in the eyes of UConn players that Emilie Gronas was seeing and she thought it was fear? Either way , it turned out the way the UConn players wanted it to.Sounds like they think they had UConn on the ropes.
STORRS, Conn. – Emilie Gronas saw something Monday night in Duquesne’s 97-51 NCAA Tournament second-round loss to No. 1 Connecticut that’s seldom seen in women’s college basketball.
She saw the Dukes go toe-to-toe with the top team in the nation for 15 minutes.
And she saw something else.
“I saw some fear in their eyes, and that was great to see,” she observed. “Many other teams, they just stroll through and it looks so easy for them. I think they had to work for it today, especially in the beginning. I’m so proud of my teammates.”
