The Huskies are focused, they are determined and they are on a mission to prove they are still the No. 1 team in the nation, even with their top two players on the bench. The post players, in particular, are on a mission. They believe they can do better and they want to prove it. Louisiana Tech is a very physical team inside. The regular-season game is just a measuring stick for what comes down the road.
Every team gets better.
UConn coach Geno Auriemma is worried. His concern is that the Huskies give a better performance than they did against N.C. State. In the second half Saturday, five players battled foul trouble and were limited in their ability to play defense. It's a situation UConn must avoid against Louisiana Tech.
