In each of the last four seasons I've made it over to McGonigle Hall the day before Temple was hosting UConn so I could catch up with New Haven's Tanaya Atkinson. With Atkinson leading the American Athletic Conference in scoring and rebounding, she is going to be the focus of my advance for tomorrow's game.
While I was there, I had a few minutes with Temple coach and former UConn assistant coach Tonya Cardoza and of course I asked her about her thoughts on Geno Auriemma's assertion that Thursday's game against Tulsa was the most disgraceful effort he's seen in his time coaching at UConn.
