Everybody leaves at some point, ... You can't stay forever. There's going to come a day when I'm not coaching at Connecticut anymore. I would think everybody understands that. Tomorrow Next month No. Next year Probably not. But anybody who says never is lying.
More Quotes from Geno Auriemma:
I always thought Mel has a chance to be the poor mans version of Shea (Ralph) and thats exactly whats shes turned out to be. She cant get to the basket like Shea could. Shes not old enough to go slam people just to see what it feels like, like Shea did. But she makes shots like nobody else in the country at this point.Geno Auriemma
I said earlier this season that this is probably the worst rebounding team we've had here in 15 years and today was a perfect example of why. Forget the fact that we're probably not big enough or athletic enough in some positions, we get caught a lot of times standing around. We were really fortunate that Pitt didn't capitalize.

I could see her going either way. I don't think there's a bad decision or a wrong decision. It's what your personal feelings are at that time. Knowing Nicole, I'm sure she's given it some thought.

You worry at this time of the year that you get a little bit hesitant, a little bit tentative, and it becomes a walk-it-up, grind-it-out game. I dont want it to be like that. I dont want to be afraid to run and afraid to lose and worry about What if. I just want to go and run up and down the floor and make some plays and see what happens thats when were at our best.

Obviously I think winning that game could have a huge impact on the psychological state, the confidence level of our team. That's obvious. But at the same time, we're home. We're Connecticut. Everybody think we're one of the top-10 teams in the country. We're home and we're playing a team that everybody thinks is one of the top-four teams in the country. Going into the game, yeah, we expect to win this game. That's what you're supposed to think if you're us.
