And then Kiah Stokes came in...
Do UConn blow outs lack entertainment value?

If a fan loves basketball then I think they found this game entertaining. If they need close, competitive contests to maintain interest, then they likely wouldn't watch the second half.
One of the things I love about following this team is the purity of the play regardless of the score. It remains exemplary basketball even when the result is long since decided. In the men's game, perhaps due to the different nature of their game, a blowout tends to devolve. It can become showboating, dunking and chest thumping. Perhaps exciting for the hometown fans, but often sloppy and not team ball. UConn women tend to keep playing within the team concept (or Geno wont play them!) and still impressive to watch from a team basketball standpoint.
Were fans bored watching Secretariat win the Belmont by 30 lengths?
