There is a misstatement in the first minute that very few UConn fans will miss.

Bet it will run in some form tomorrow. Probably between games.

Yeah. I wondered about that, too.

Unless we're talking about different misstatements.

 

[CTyankee]

If they are going to show this on TV tonight, they better correct the faux pas before the airing, otherwise they will get a ton of unfavorable UConn emails...

I'm not a UCONN fan and I noticed the error immediately.

 

[Suebird10fan]

ok, I'll fess up ... I have no clue what it was, can someone help out?

 

[Suebird10fan]

Talking about "9th title in school history" which ignores men's titles? Not sure I could call that a misstatement--it was implied they were talking only about women. If that's not it I'm stumped.

Talking about "9th title

Your getting warm.....

 

[DavidK]

Heard it too but figured i just misheard. Went back and knew it right away.

 

[Suebird10fan]

would be much higher than 9 counting league titles?

How is it so obvious to a fan of another school and not to several posters above? Think UT reference.

 

[DaddyChoc]

was Rita a recruit or an alum when she was sitting behind the bench?

Actually, Cockhorn, it's only me ... guess I'm being dense on this one. I thought it slightly odd that they referenced the titles won by the schools and not by Pat and Geno respectively. But, I don't think that made it inaccurate to say "9th title would break a tie with TN for most in the women's game." Still racking my brain ...

They switched the wording; originally the piece said it would tie Tennessee, if I'm not mistaken.

Lol ... Must have replayed it fifteen times ... All after they fixed it. I would have caught that immediately!

I just watched it again; they changed the wording from "it would tie" to "it would break a tie".
