That’s UConn, of course. Whether winning NCAA titles or not, the Huskies tend to show up ready to play some D. This year’s Huskies, ranked sixth nationally, missing key players from injury, don’t look like a national title contender. They didn’t even look like the most talented team on this court. They still show up to play some D.
Villanova’s kids? Plenty of toughness. If you were in there, you saw it. UConn doesn’t commit 22 turnovers on an empty court.What ticked Siegrist off the most about this one? “Trying to get looks — just didn’t make them. Then the wheels were just turning,” Dillon said, speaking of getting a little tight down the stretch. Adding about how in the first half “we were getting looks, not making them. Then second-guessing a little bit. … In the halfcourt, you’re relying on Maddy a lot of times to bail us out, when other players are getting looks.”Siegrist said she felt like she was getting her normal looks.
