I said the same thing to my wife as soon as I saw Kantner.
I included the second sentence to respond to several posters in various threads ruing that UConn players weren’t cutting hard toward the basket. It’s tough to do that when you’re getting bumped every time you cut.
I don’t know which team I think is better in general, but there’s no question ND was better last night. Notre Dame won fair and square, I’m not bellyaching about the outcome. But luck (i. e., a team occasionally punching above its weight or having an off night) is part of the game.
I’m disappointed, sure, but neither dismayed nor dark.
Thank You for the comment of the Huskies "getting bumped
every time they 'cut' ". When I saw that happening in the game
it really did not "register" in my consciousness. I can see how that
would seriously affect the timing of UCONN flow and timing of
passes. Do you think that Kaitlyn Chen 'hesitates' on some passes
because the timing of the cutter is "just not there" or is something
else also a factor? I learn something every day! My comment to
the Hoyas today: " Sorry about that " (i.e. after the game!) Go UCONN!
