Gotta wonder if Stewart Tuck and Stokes were woken up. This game even though the competition wasn't the highest sends a message on how good UConn is. Why because they won by 50pts with their height and stars on the bench most of the game. I am very happy for Saniya Chong she has had a very tuff time of it and is now showing what I saw her do in HS. Gabby Williams is a star. This kid is terrific and to think she was injured for 1+ seasons in her last 2 years of HS. What does that say about Genos ability to identify talent? For me its...like Geno has a different set of eyes then most other coaches.
So SC comes in. Stewie Tuck and Stokes are big 3 sat most of the game today. What does that say for them? Will they come out on fire or will Geno sit them again. Genos not happy and with Geno its more about March then it is about now. He said he doesn't care if they lose he wants them ready for the last 6 games this season. SC may have a chance on Monday nite. I still think tomorrows practice will be tuff and some how UConn will pull it together and win. I did say by 20+ I could be wrong after watching our big three sitting the bench.
At this point in the season Saniya Kia and Mojeff are 3 terrific guards. No team has 3 guards who can do what they do. Guards make plays, and handle the offense. We've got three and that may be the difference.
I think since the conference season started UConn has been going through the motions. They know they are going to win, take it for granted in some aspects and are not completely focused. They know they are going to win by 50+ and that hurts their focus. They go through the motions not concerned about winning because its coming to easy. Today Geno sent a message and we will see on Monday who plays and who sits. Don't be surprised if UConn comes out slow and he sits them and they might even lose. He will get his message through to them because its not about winning today its about be prepared in March and winning in April. This was a wake up call. Practice will be tuff and I hope he has enough time to get them where they need to be for Monday.
I do believe UConn will win and they may win ugly on Monday. One thing is for sure. If they come out thinking they can roll over SC like some of the teams they ve been playing they will have to find a way to turn it around. I for one would like to see more tuffer opponents scheduled next season in the second half of the season to avoid having this let up which we have seen over the past few games.
