My wife made a dinner reservation on Saturday night for my birthday. I’ll probably have the first game on in the background before we leave but I'm not remotely invested in the outcome.

Go Huskies!

True,

But who would have guessed (since the turn of the millennium) that there would be a day where UConn women's basketball would be in a Cinderella position.

Almost. I think I need to watch Cooper Flagg some more.

Can Duke handle Houston's physicality? Don't think so. Officiating will be crucial but they tend to not call these games too tight which favors Houston.

Duke is very long starting w that mutumbo clone Houston doesn’t have the firepower to score enough. Cooper Flagg is an nba superstar and will need huge attention That’s Houston’s only chance to win

There’s the women’s final four which I am very nervous about and then there’s whatever is happening in the men’s tournament. I’ll watch the games if I’m home, but if there’s something else going on that we can do, I will go do that.

This isn’t a UConn FF game where I cut off communication with the outside world like eight hours before the game because my nerves are frazzled.

The women are way overdue for a title, finally all healthy..... so ladies let's get er done.

Maybe we can start alternating titles or both win next year. Go UConn!

I’ve said this before we lost, this tourney is a snooze fest.

Never seen anything quite like it.

No surprises, close games far/few in between and even the coverage is subpar.

I’ll still watch though but disappointing tourney and has nothing to do with the fact we lost.

Well even though they're the only 2 seed in the Final Four they are the overwhelming betting favorite to win it all. So not exactly Cinderella.

You know you could tune in to the UConn Women tonight. They are the Vegas favorites. They killed South Carolina by 20 or 30, last time they played.
 
By the way, Does Lisa Leslie look like she could suit up and go 20/12/7 with 3 blocks in WNBA game right now (she is 52 years old.)?
 
I am going to watch and root like hell against Dook. If they look like they are going to win both games easy I will stop watching. I just want to see the pain on Dook nation’s face if they get beat.

Sounds petty but I don’t care. Watching Dook and their fans get crushed has been a thing for me ever since we one our first chip. Yes Coach K kept it together but you could see how much that loss tore him up.

Ever since prince pretty boy Laetner hit that shot that ended our dream season I have cherished every final four win against them and loved when the have lost games they were not supposed too. That shot took me a week minimum to get over.

As a kid growing up as a Yankee fan growing up in central CT never thought I would hate any team more than the RedSox or Celtics for that matter. But ever since 1990 Dook is the team I want to see lose more than anything.

I don't think they are. UConn women are 7.5 point favorites against #1 overall seed UCLA tonight.
 
I've been watching the Final Four since before we were relevant. Wishing we could just get in the tournament

I'm not going to stop now that we're the best program in the modern era

We cant win it every year and it sucks we arent there but i love the F4 especially when we have really good teams there and anyone can win it. Last two seasons Uconn was just so dominant there was zero drama. I hope we get drama.
 
We’re seeing the beginning of the end. We’re all less invested. They’ve got to figure out a way to preserve the passion by making sure fans can get attached to their players and see them through. We can’t have brand new teams every year and maintain the same love for the game. Something has to be tweaked.

You make a great point. I hope you are wrong. I mean we do have a few players who have not made a decision on staying or going. If they stay we have almost a handful of players that have been with the program for three years.

If somehow Hurley can create a culture that convinces these young men staying is their best chance of reaching their realistic goals it gives us an edge.

I do think if we are funded well enough that we will be a perennial national title contender. The back to backs kicked off at least a decade of UConn being a dominant presence in the college basketball landscape. Does anyone doubt Danny can win two more chips over the next 7-10 years.

If he gets to four does he keep coaching?

Eh. People root for laundry. This is objectively a great final four with the four best teams in the country. I just don’t give an because UConn’s not playing.

Interesting questions. I think if Hurley hit 4, he might look at the next level. He would enter an elite club with 4, eclipsing Calhoun and one shy of K as it comes to the modern era numbers. If we got 4 out of him, he'd have done more than you could ask.

I do think Hurley has something going on in terms of culture and psychology with today's athlete that is way above the bar. He's current, in tune with social media, etc. He really strikes a perfect balance. Whether it's natural or studied doesn't matter, he seems to get it.
