When you throw the ball to the other team and give up breakaway layups like we did tonight its pretty cruel, especially against good players. Its also cool because you get a chance to come back pretty quickly, and Ive seen teams throughout my many years, six, seven, eight days later, you dont even know its the same team. We really are going to be better for what happened tonight than for not having played tonight.POLL IMPLICATIONSShould they have a similarly impressive win Sunday against No. 14 Texas, UConn may pick up a few more first-place votes going into the Dec. 7 showdown with top-ranked Notre Dame in South BendBREAKING GOODUConns perimeter defense led to 24 DePaul turnovers and sparked the Huskies transition game.
