Dawn was referring to Geno AND it's been happening to her team for quite some time. Dawn had a right to defend her team. She has to keep her team locked in. That said, Geno is casting aspersions at thr Gamecocks, because UConn isn't as dominant as there were in their heyday. Ok, Baylor, South Carolina, Stanford, and Notre Dame have all won it and Geno is desperate for a title. He's right that UConn is going to win the title again, but the game has evolved... it's a more physical and athletic game... the women's game isn't just people shooting wide open threes and taking it up the backdoor like it used to be...I'd like to see Ayana Patterson play more for UConn. She is a player who, along with Edwards can play very physical. Patterson needs experience. Right now she is raw and it's gonna look bad, but Patterson can dunk... and when she hones her game UConn will have a little more down low... to go along with Azzi Fudd when she returns. Geno is too great of a coach to be a crybaby. When he wins from physical play (Baylor couple yrs ago) he says nothing or he'll say that's just the way the game was played...well "what's good for thr goose is good for the gander." When you lose, keep the same energy as win ur players "roller derbied" Carrington to go to the Final Four.
