Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2124001, member: 1131"] This is really a short turnaround, less than in previous Final Fours. Once they get to Dallas, there is a whole lot of hoopla and ceremony that they have to participate in. I wonder when they can really do practice and game preparation as they normally would. By contrast, Mississippi State had a whole extra day at home to prepare, which is a real advantage. I'm sure that no one will feel sorry for UConn, since it didn't have to travel out of state so far in the tournament. But it seems like this week's schedule effectively spots Mississippi State a 10-point lead in the semifinal game. [/QUOTE]
