Dishin & Swishin Podcast: Lin Dunn & Rebecca Lobo on the "UConn Dilemma"

[pinotbear]

Three things
1 All the poor woman said, other than a lot of generalities, was that ESPN probably should not carry UCONN-Cinci in addition to a lot of other UCONN games. Chill fans!
2 It is the expectation that a game will be good that gets people to watch. No one knows if it will be a close game when they begin to watch. (Ironically, Dunn et al lower those expectations)
3 The problem is not that no one can compete with us. (This year may look that way but last year Baylor was favored to win, ND was kicking our butt). We won 8 Championships in 19 years so we were beaten 11 years. The problem is that there are never more than six teams that can get to the final four. So many times you , on day 1 of the season, could have penciled in Tenn. UCONN, Stanford into the final four.

Well, that penciling was a while back. Now : UCONN, ND, Stanford. The other slot is for your L'Ville, Baylor, Duke of the year.
