I didn't like aspects of the UCONN game either. However, they're going to have my continued support moving forward. These are the same young women who gave us a magical year last year. Some of the same things that helped us last year (competitive fire, toughness, grittiness, unwillingness to accept defeat) just weren't channeled the right way in this game.

The true test of this year's team is whether they and the coaches have learned from this game. We can't undo what has happened, just move forward.

I say this knowing that there were "character' moments from my limited athletic career that I would like a second chance at.

One of my favorite quotes from Sherwood Anderson:

"It was his notion that the moment one of the people took one of those truths to himself, called it his truth, and tried to live by it, he became grotesque and the truth became a falsehood."

Good post

and I agree but, in my opinion, MM needs to move forward with zero tolerance for excessive whining and undisciplined play. Let someone else play who will refuse to lose in the right way.

Muffet learned from that game also *
