Clay Kallam, back at Full Court: UConn "can win every game they play by 35 points, say all the right things in every press conference, and help their opponents up after every collision, and if they don’t win the national title, the season is not just a failure, it’s an abject, abysmal, epic failure.... And that's not right."

It may be an unfair game of expectations, but Geno sounds happy to play it: if Tiffany Hayes "is an all-American this year," he says, "we're going to win the whole thing."
