Once the final buzzer sounds against Oklahoma, UConn women’s basketball will get five days off to give everyone a chance to head home for the holidays. With finals done and Christmas tantalizingly close, acting head coach Chris Dailey is wary of the dreaded ‘trap game.’
“This is a dangerous game because it’s a game right before the holidays,” Dailey said. “Everybody’s going to go home Sunday night or Monday morning. They just finished exams, they want to take a deep breath. This is a dangerous game.”
But blocking out external distractions and keeping the focus on the next game is one of the core tenants of the program, so Dailey is confident the Huskies will stay focused.
