I agree, and the shocking stat is not that Geno has a poor record in close games, but that UConn has had only 11 games they haven't won by over 9 points in four years.  The best way to not have any close losses is to blow out your opponents, and UConn is pretty good at that.  There is an element of unpredictability to close games that cannot be controlled, and although preparation and coaching does make a difference, the difference between UConn winning in regulation and Stanford winning in overtime was a lovely shot by Amber Orrange.  If that doesn't fall, we aren't having this conversation.
