HARTFORD, Conn. — Geno Auriemma held a discussion with the UConn women’s basketball team on Tuesday morning in which he invoked a lesson he learned from Svetlana Abrosimova, who played for the Huskies from 1997 to 2001.
“Stop talking about what you’re gonna do, stop talking about what you hope happens and what happened last year and how you felt,” Auriemma said while speaking to media at his annual Geno For The Kids charity golf event later on Tuesday. “Now that you put that out there, that’s it. It’s over with, it’s done with.”
Everybody knows the goal at UConn is to win a national championship every year, he and his coaching staff explained. You don’t have to talk about it.
