So the topic of whether UConn is good or bad for basketball, especially in light of the near 100 point victory for UConn against St. Francis, was brought up during a segment called "Buy Or Sell" on ESPN's Around The Horn.  The question was posed to 4 talking heads, do you Buy Or Sell what UConn did to St. Francis.  The announcer mention before approaching the panel that if it were Tiger Woods they were talking about the panel would "spontaneously combust".  Tim Cowlishaw said the issue isn't UConn but the other teams they face.  Get better players, up your game etc.  Pablo S. Torre said people are "selling" UConn's victory because they don't appreciate greatness, and that all sports need a measuring stick.  Bill Plaschke said the argument is filled with gender bias.  That no one said a thing when Alabama won a game this year by the score of 66-3, nor did anyone say Alabama is bad for football.  He said Alabama has won 10 championships in 12 years and no one bats an eye.  Woody Paige said it's wonderful for basketball.  No one complained about UCLA's dynasty when players stuck around for 4 years.

So people, it ain't all bad out there.  Some people get it.
