Interesting piece with guests Andrea Carter and Monica McNutt (one of the commentators from the game) talking about the UCONN/South Carolina game.

Generally even handed analysis but got to hold your nose and Fast forward past the "basketball" defense by Carter.

Also a bit surprised Carter said SC is "hands down" the more talented team but lost because UConn executed and handled the pressure better.

Isn't executing and handling pressure a sign of talent? The entire conversation was idiotic. How does last year, when both teams lost key players, relevant?
We have added way more talent than SC and it showed. When discussing UCONN this year, most of these presenters talk like Paige is not part of the team....when by a factor x3 she was easily the best player on the court.
The preferred team didn't win and the narrative flows from there.

The error of mistaking “athleticism” for talent is made all too often when comparing athletes, and this is a prime example.
