Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 4563431, member: 3630"] It had to be clear that Nova had no chance of winning the game-- one might even say that the V was decided well before the 4th. In such a situation a well disciplined team is quite aware of injuries because you are running on high octane-- strange things can happen. Of course they can happen at any time, but they are more haunting when it seems that things have been decided. That is, the team didn't run out of gas and/or Nova had turned the game trajectory around favoring them. The other, and equally important, is that you do not (should not) embarrass your opponents. (Would we have been happier w/ 40-points rather than 12?) Lastly, it is probably the case that a high score L was not in the best interest for Nova via NCAA-Selection. I'm not saying that Uconn had that in mind and played accordingly, but as a Uconn follower and a BE fan, I'm happy not to showcase at the expense of fellow Conference allies. Go Huskies & Nova.
