this is who UConn is, similar to what the Lady Vols once were. while we don't want to admit it, much of it has to do with coaching. we can't expect Coach Harper to be PS or Geno, but she can definitely learn from both, what makes great teams. the conditioning of UConn vs the Lady Vols was evident. great teams play every possession as if it were the last. many will argue that PS was too hard on players and that Geno is as well, but PS got the top recruits because they were willing to accept a coach being tough to help them to take their game to the next level. i don't think Coach Harper has that toughness. Dawn Staley came into the SEC and started scooping up all the 5star recruits, and not LSU is starting to do the same. common trait that they all (Pat, Geno, Dawn, Kim) possess - toughness, and those who play for them carry it to the floor.
i was hoping someone would tie-up Muhl given how she was pushing the Lady Vols off.
