Trsut me, they are capable of enormous stretches. When a semi-reasonable fan pointed out that the foul calls were roughly even, they pounced. Yes! There should've been twice as many on UConn!

Ah, so you're letting the cat out of the bag. This game was orchestrated. Let UConn get out to a 16 point lead to feed the UConn fans. Then, let Tennessee come back and tie it, so basketball fans watching of the games and paying attention to scores will realize they need to be watching this...

She's even starting off with the right initials.

I think it's considered an unwritten rule that the losing team has to throw in the towel, (call of the press, take out the top players, or otherwise signify that the result is obvious), before the team-leading has to call off the dogs. They can be exceptional situations such as the Syracuse...

I agree with you except I believe the score was 91-60.

Maybe but I didn't see it. I just went back to see if I overlooked it and I still don't see it.

Trinity men's squash The longest unbeaten streak of ANY intercollegiate sport in US history. 252 games which ended in 2012 13 consecutive national titles starting in 1990 through 2011

I was at both of those games.
