STORRS, Conn. — Sitting in on UConn women’s basketball’s postgame press conference following an uninspiring win over Xavier to cap off the regular season, it would’ve been hard to tell that the Huskies had just won the Big East regular season championship.
Outside of a close loss to No. 1 South Carolina, the ninth-ranked Huskies mostly limped through the month of February. Head coach Geno Auriemma expressed his frustrations and concerns with where his team stands entering the postseason for nearly half an hour.
“The players ain’t what they used to be and the coaching ain’t what it used to be either,” Auriemma said. “I don’t think we coach these guys as well as we coached some of the other guys. And that’s evident when you watch us play on the floor, that we look like a poorly coached team.”
