Interesting comments from Geno's post-game interview with Holly Rowe about the team's consistent, even keel attitude. At the beginning of the season he seemed miffed at their lack of emotion and engagement as if he was looking for more. A completely unexpected run through the regular season to get where they are now, and seems like he's starting to openly give credit for their unprecedented maturity at such a young collective age ("unfazed" "never hold onto anything too long" etc.).
Ironically, do I remember (correct me if I'm wrong) Geno giving an in-practice rant following the Stanford loss in 2014 to the likes of "We can't go through the season like this..." implying their inconsistent emotions and focus level? When you compare the accumulated experience level of that team of Juniors and Seniors to this year's Sophomores and Juniors it really puts this team's maturity into perspective. Question marks have turned into true strengths.
