He didn't recognize the new Patoni tiles on the ceiling?I went with my cousin to the second round game against South Dakota State. He had not been to Gampel since he saw a women's game there back in 1997 or 1998. Certainly a long time ago, but not an eternity (at least from the perspective of an old guy!).
I asked him whether Gampel looked different than he recalled. His immediate comment - well, there weren't all of those banners hanging in the rafters back then.
Think about that. There was one back then. Now there soon will be eighteen.
I only gave us 60% chance against UCLA.Seems our loss to Tennessee disguised a dominant UConn team. Our only loss of the year. All wins were blowouts including the in season win over South Carolina. In the tourney the only “ close” game was the 14 pt win over a juju less USC. In the final it was consensus that the 29 pt win was an anomaly and would not be repeated. Well in some ways the final was more of a rout and even disproved we can’t win if we don’t hit our threes . We kept hearing well the big east is weak yet we beat the big conferences as if they were just another big east team. Very impressive and I’m sure going to miss Paige. Congrats to the champs.
