Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 5315627, member: 3535"] [I]Can't cite all the incidents but I rarely read ESPN mostly becuase of the combo that many posters on here (UCONN fans and non-UCONN alike) know more imo about UCONN and/or basketball overall than quite a few ESPN writers/analysts. Also, I beleive MV hates/dislkes UCONN overall.. But here are some points to consider. Though nothing here is "evidence." Just opnion. 1---You can google by making a comment that MV was very hurt by South Carolina losing to UCONN in the finals. TBH I didn't read the quote but AI indcated that MV was hurt by it. I saw it one time but then it went away so I can't porvide the link but oddly while AI indicated MV was hurt by the loss the article it cited was from Andrea Adeison and there was no mention of MV being hurt. This sems like an AI error. But somehow I think I can recall he was. But below is another that AI implies MV expressed sadness that SOuth Carolina didn't win it's Overview.

Not one mention of UCONN's unreal injuries. I can't understnd how that is possible for someone that is supposedly a follower of wcbb.

But I do believe he was critical with either Geno's selection of the many UCONN players, and/or how he treated Parker, and/or how when Dawn took over that there were some or 1 specific UCONN selection(s) made over a player like Nneka. Oddly I think it was Collier. There were some accusations made by the media that Geno influenced Dawn and/or the Committee to take a player or others that were uconn over others. I believe MV was outspoken with either 1 or all 3 above - I could be mistaken though but I don't think so. [/QUOTE]
