Despite coaching a team currently riding an 80-game winning streak that hasn’t lost in 745 days, Geno Auriemma is not happy.

“We used to be different. We used to be special. We’re just like everybody else now,” he said. “Our guys play when they’re in the mood, they get in the stance when they feel like it.

“So in the second half they felt like it, in the first half they didn’t feel like it. Hall of Fame coach or not, they really don’t give a s—. That’s the world we live in today.”

The team may be 5-0 with wins over two ranked teams, but they’re not head-and-shoulders favorites over everybody else like they have been in years past.
