Of course there will be motivation on both sides. But I think this 'extra' motivation is often underrated. Athletes are human. Watch athletes talk about big sporting events in the past, and you'll often hear them talk about having been slighted by the other team or wanting revenge, etc. There's no doubt that players can show up and think they're 100% motivated, but make it personal and suddenly they're even more motivated than before.

I don't think there's any doubt UConn would be even more motivated because we beat them last year. Of course we'll be extremely motivated. It just won't be as personal.
