OT: Kentucky is going down baby!!!!!!!!! Loving it! Go Badgers!!!!!!!!!!!
Kentucky was a heavy favorite.
I hope this doesn't start a trend.
It didn't last year.Kentucky was a heavy favorite.
I hope this doesn't start a trend.
I agree because UConn's streak had a wide margin for error, where something or some things could go wrong without costing UConn the game. Kentucky seemed to be living on borrowed time. I would have been shocked if they'd gone undefeated.Shenandoah said:Although I realize that the Men's game is a different animal than the Women's game, this really puts into perspective the undefeated seasons that UConn and Geno have put together. Whether you're in Pee-Wee, or Div. 1, being, and staying undefeated, is a monumental task.
They weren't the biggest favorite, their line closed at -4.5 last night. Last time I saw a UConn line it was -21.5 so I wouldn't expect a similar result.Kentucky was a heavy favorite.
I hope this doesn't start a trend.
Too bad there are tales of bad sportsmanship from some Kentucky players. Not doing the handshake line. And the comment from Harrison (who later apologized). I can only imagine how difficult it is after such a loss, but that is not a good enough excuse. Maybe coach needed to prepare them better.
Every year the Men's bracket falls apart and people think it foretells the future for the Women's tourny. In fact, in most cases the best Women's team wins. Why? Because they play together for 2,3 or 4 years and know how to play as a team. This year in various games, ND and Tennessee came back to beat an inferior team because they know how to win. The Men's teams are mostly a collection of very good basketball players who have good potential and have very good one on one skills. At the end of the game none of them wants the ball.Kentucky was a heavy favorite.
I hope this doesn't start a trend.
Thanks for mentioning this, that was my thought exactly. Geno is a master manipulator, and this gives him another edge for this game.Best thing that could have happened to the UConn women. I'll bet Geno and CD has mentioned KY's loss once or twice or a thousand times.
