Despite the losses by UCLA and Stanford, the Pac-10's night wasn't all bad. ASU upset UConn in front of the Devil faithful.
ASU simply refused to fear the Huskies. "We look at them, and each of them is like us, girls with jerseys," said Emily Westerberg. "That puts things in perspective. We played as hard as they did. It's just basketball. When you keep that in mind, you don't have to be scared."
Geno can't believe his team. "I walked in the building today and said ‘There is no way we’re ready for this’," he said. "We used to walk into buildings like this and we would laugh about how the other team was going to handle playing in front of the full crowd, and how they would panic and we would just blow them out."
Geno wouldn't let any of his players come out for interviews. The UConn box score is a nightmare. Crockett: 2 points. Turner: 6 points, 0-for-5 free throws. Strother: 2 points, 1-for-7 from the field.
This is the first time since 1992 that UConn has lost two games before the New Year.
